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
assert
break
class
continue
def	Defines a function
del	Deletes an object
elif
else
except
exec
False
finally
for	Creates a for loop
from	Imports a part of a module
global	Declares a global variable
if
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
not	A logical operator
or	A logical operator
pass	Does nothing, a null statement
print
raise	Raises an exception
return	Exits a function and returns a value
True
try
while	Creates a while loop
with
yield

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