I'd like to get a list of all of Pythons keywords as strings. It would also be rather nifty if I could do a similar thing for built in functions.
Something like this :
import syntax print syntax.keywords # prints ['print', 'if', 'for', etc...] 
728
To print the list of all keywords, we use "keyword. kwlist", which can be used after importing the "keyword" module, it returns a list of the keyword available in the current Python version. In the below code, we are implementing a Python program to print the list of all keywords.
In Python, there are approximately around thirty-three (33) keywords, and a few of the keywords generally used in the program coding are break, continue, true, false, and, or, not, for, while, def, class, if, else, elif, import, from, except, exec, print, return, yield, lambda, global, etc.
list is not a keyword but a built-in type, as are str , set , dict , unicode , int , float , etc. There is no point in reserving each and every possible built-in type; python is a dynamic language and if you want to replace the built-in types with a local name that shadows it, you should be able to.
You asked about statements, while showing keywords in your output example.
If you're looking for keywords, they're all listed in the keyword module:
>>> import keyword >>> keyword.kwlist ['and', 'as', 'assert', 'break', 'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del', 'elif', 'else', 'except', 'exec', 'finally', 'for', 'from', 'global', 'if', 'import', 'in', 'is', 'lambda', 'not', 'or', 'pass', 'print', 'raise', 'return', 'try', 'while', 'with', 'yield'] From the keyword.kwlist doc:
Sequence containing all the keywords defined for the interpreter. If any keywords are defined to only be active when particular
__future__statements are in effect, these will be included as well.
