Revision as of 13:14, 5 December 2022 by Janne Peräaho (talk | contribs)
Python has 34 keywords that have a predefined meaning and thus they cannot be used as a variable name. The keywords are:
Keyword | Description |
---|---|
and | A logical operator |
as | Creates an alias |
assert | Used for debugging. Raises an AssertionError exception with a specified error message if the supplied condition is False. |
break | Exits loop |
class | Defines a class |
continue | Terminates the current loop iteration and begins the next one |
def | Defines a function |
del | Deletes an object |
elif | A short for "else if" |
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 | Executes the supplied Python code |
False | A boolean value |
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 |
is | Tests if two values are equal |
lambda | Defines an anonymous function |
None | Defines a null value |
not | A logical operator |
or | A logical operator |
pass | Does nothing, a null statement |
Prints a message to the screen | |
raise | Raises an exception |
return | Exits a function and returns a value |
True | A boolean value |
try | Defines an exception handler (tests a block of code for errors). See except, finally, and else. |
while | Creates a while loop |
with | Manages external resources |
yield | Exits a generator function and returns a value |
All the keywords except False, None, and True are in lowercase and they must be written as they are.
