List of Keywords in Python Programming

Keywords in Python are reserved words. You cannot use them as variable name, function name, class name, etc.

Following are the Keywords in Python ?

The keyword module is to be used for getting all the keywords. At first, learn to install the keyword module.

Install the keyword module

To install the keyword module, use the pip ?

pip install keyword 

Fetch all the keywords in Python

Use the kwlist attribute to fetch all the keywords after importing the keyword module. Let's see the example ?

Example

 import keyword # Fetch all the Keywords kwlist = keyword.kwlist # Display the Keywords print("Keywords = ",kwlist) 
 
 
 

Output

Keywords = ['False', 'None', 'True', 'and', 'as', 'assert', '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'] 

Check for valid keywords in Python

We will check multiple values for valid and invalid keywords in Python. With that, use the iskeyword() method for checking ?

Example

 import keyword # Create a List myList = ["for", "amit", "val", "while"] # Display the List print("List = ",myList) keyword_list = [] non_keyword_list = [] # Looping and verifying for keywords for item in myList: if keyword.iskeyword(item):	keyword_list.append(item) else:	non_keyword_list.append(item) print("\nKeywords= " + str(keyword_list)) print("Non-Keywords= " + str(non_keyword_list)) 
 
 
 

Output

List = ['for', 'amit', 'val', 'while'] Keywords= ['for', 'while'] Non-Keywords= ['amit', 'val']
