Source code: Lib/token.py This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of leaf nodes of the parse tree (terminal tokens). 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. The module also provides a mapping from numeric codes to names and some functions. The functions mirror definitions in the Python C header files. Note 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. Dictionary 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. Return True for terminal token values. Return True for non-terminal token values. Return True if x is the marker indicating the end of input. Token value that indicates an identifier or keyword . Token value that indicates a numeric literal Token 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. A generic token value that indicates an operator or delimiter . Token value used to indicate a comment. The parser ignores !COMMENT tokens. Token value that indicates the end of a logical line . Token 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. Token value used at the beginning of a logical line to indicate the start of an indented block . Token value used at the beginning of a logical line to indicate the end of an indented block . Token value used to indicate the beginning of an f-string literal . Token value used for literal text inside an f-string literal , including format specifications. Token value used to indicate the end of a f-string . Token value used to indicate the beginning of a template string literal. … Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
