Python has 34 keywords that have a predefined meaning and thus they cannot be used as a variable name. The keywords are:

as | |
assert | |

class | |
continue | |
def | Defines a function |
del | Deletes an object |

else | Defines actions that are executed when if condition is False. See if. When used with exception handler, defines actions that are executed when there there was no error. See try. |
except | Defines an error handler for an exception handler. See try. |
exec | |

finally | Defines actions for exception handler that are executed always. See try. |
for | Creates a for loop |
from | Imports a part of a module |
global | Declares a global variable |
if | Defines actions that are executed when if condition is True. |
import | Imports a module |
in | Checks if a value is present in an array |

or | A logical operator |
pass | Does nothing, a null statement |
raise | Raises an exception |

All the keywords except False, None, and True are in lowercase and they must be written as they are.
