Getting the List of all Python keywords
We can also get all the keyword names using the below code.
Python3
import keyword# printing all keywords at once using "kwlist()"print("The list of keywords is : ")print(keyword.kwlist) |
Output:
The list of keywords are:
['False', 'None', 'True', 'and', 'as', 'assert', 'async', 'await', 'break',
'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del', 'elif', 'else', 'except', 'finally', 'for', 'from', 'global', 'if',
'import', 'in', 'is', 'lambda', 'nonlocal', 'not', 'or', 'pass', 'raise', 'return', 'try', 'while', 'with', 'yield']
Let’s discuss each keyword in detail with the help of good examples.
Python Keywords
Every language contains words and a set of rules that would make a sentence meaningful. Similarly, in Python programming language, there are a set of predefined words, called Keywords which along with Identifiers will form meaningful sentences when used together. Python keywords cannot be used as the names of variables, functions, and classes.
In this article, we will learn about Python keywords and how to use them to perform some tasks.
