Is file
a keyword in python?
I've seen some code using the keyword file
just fine, while others have suggested not to use it and my editor is color coding it as a keyword.
Python keywords are special reserved words that have specific meanings and purposes and can't be used for anything but those specific purposes. These keywords are always available—you'll never have to import them into your code. Python keywords are different from Python's built-in functions and types.
A file is some information or data which stays in the computer storage devices. You already know about different kinds of file , like your music files, video files, text files. Python gives you easy ways to manipulate these files. Generally we divide files in two categories, text file and binary file.
1 Answer. The correct answer to the question “Which of the following is not a Keyword in Python” is option (a). Val. As Val is not a correct keyword, in Python and all others are keywords.
No, file
is a builtin, not a keyword:
>>> import keyword >>> keyword.iskeyword('file') False >>> import __builtin__ >>> hasattr(__builtin__, 'file') True
It can be seen as an alias for open()
, but it has been removed from Python 3, as the new io
framework replaced it. Technically, it is the type of object returned by the open()
function.
