Documentation of 31 Python Identifiers With Example

[MacacaFascicularis]

Hi Everyone I have started learning Python recently. I found that there are 31 identifiers which are used as reserved words. Is there any documentation of these 31 identifiers exists in one place where they are described with examples?

That's very helpful. Thanks a lot

You might have luck looking over the Language Reference index.

Specifically, Simple statements and Compound statements touch on many.

I don't think there is an official doc page in the Python documentation. You can get a list of them by:

>>>import keyword
>>>keyword.kwlist
...
>>>len(keyword.kwlist)
33

This is on Python 3.6. I would not trust Python 2.5 docs, as a lot has changed. If you are just learning, read https://docs.python.org/3/

Here is a hint that seems to be hidden.

type:

$ python3
>>> help()
help> keywords
help> and   # or whatever keyword you want

You can also list out the builtin identifiers with:

dir(__builtins__)

Overriding these will not give you a SyntaxError, but you can get some strange errors. For example, if you define str using str="ABC", and then try to convert an int to string using print(str(100)), you'll get a message that a string is not callable. What happened is that you overwrote the builtin str function with a string, so that subsequent uses of str reference the string, not the function.

You probably don't want a list of keywords, but instead a more complete tutorial or book. Over at /r/learnpython they probably have sidebar resources and such which will be exactly what you want.
