Refer to the file Grammar/Tokens in the Python distribution for the definitions of the names in the context of the language grammar. The specific numeric values which the names map to may change between Python versions.\n\nThe module also provides a mapping from numeric codes to names and some functions. The functions mirror definitions in the Python C header files.\n\nNote that a token's value may depend on tokenizer options. For example, a \"+\" token may be reported as either PLUS or OP, or a \"match\" token may be either NAME or SOFT_KEYWORD.\n\nDictionary mapping the numeric values of the constants defined in this module back to name strings, allowing more human-readable representation of parse trees to be generated.\n\nReturn True for terminal token values.\n\nReturn True for non-terminal token values.\n\nReturn True if x is the marker indicating the end of input.\n\nToken value that indicates an identifier or keyword .\n\nToken value that indicates a numeric literal\n\nToken value that indicates a string or byte literal , excluding formatted string literals . The token string is not interpreted: it includes the surrounding quotation marks and the prefix (if given); backslashes are included literally, without processing escape sequences.\n\nA generic token value that indicates an operator or delimiter .\n\nToken value used to indicate a comment. The parser ignores !COMMENT tokens.\n\nToken value that indicates the end of a logical line .\n\nToken value used to indicate a non-terminating newline. !NL tokens are generated when a logical line of code is continued over multiple physical lines. The parser ignores !NL tokens.\n\nToken value used at the beginning of a logical line to indicate the start of an indented block .\n\nToken value used at the beginning of a logical line to indicate the end of an indented block .\n\nToken value used to indicate the beginning of an f-string literal .\n\nToken value used for literal text inside an f-string literal , including format specifications.\n\nToken value used to indicate the end of a f-string .\n\nToken value used to indicate the beginning of a template string literal. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
