token — Constants used with Python parse trees¶
Source code:Lib/token.py
This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of leaf nodesof the parse tree (terminal tokens). Refer to the fileGrammar/Grammarin the Python distribution for the definitions of the names in the context ofthe language grammar. The specific numeric values which the names map to maychange between Python versions.
The module also provides a mapping from numeric codes to names and somefunctions. The functions mirror definitions in the Python C header files.
token.tok_name¶Dictionary mapping the numeric values of the constants defined in this moduleback to name strings, allowing more human-readable representation of parse treesto be generated.
token.ISTERMINAL(x)¶Return
Truefor terminal token values.
token.ISNONTERMINAL(x)¶Return
Truefor non-terminal token values.
token.ISEOF(x)¶Return
Trueifx is the marker indicating the end of input.
The token constants are:
token.ENDMARKER¶token.NAME¶token.NUMBER¶token.STRING¶token.NEWLINE¶token.INDENT¶token.DEDENT¶token.LPAR¶token.RPAR¶token.LSQB¶token.RSQB¶token.COLON¶token.COMMA¶token.SEMI¶token.PLUS¶token.MINUS¶token.STAR¶token.SLASH¶token.VBAR¶token.AMPER¶token.LESS¶token.GREATER¶token.EQUAL¶token.DOT¶token.PERCENT¶token.LBRACE¶token.RBRACE¶token.EQEQUAL¶token.NOTEQUAL¶token.LESSEQUAL¶token.GREATEREQUAL¶token.TILDE¶token.CIRCUMFLEX¶token.LEFTSHIFT¶token.RIGHTSHIFT¶token.DOUBLESTAR¶token.PLUSEQUAL¶token.MINEQUAL¶token.STAREQUAL¶token.SLASHEQUAL¶token.PERCENTEQUAL¶token.AMPEREQUAL¶token.VBAREQUAL¶token.CIRCUMFLEXEQUAL¶token.LEFTSHIFTEQUAL¶token.RIGHTSHIFTEQUAL¶token.DOUBLESTAREQUAL¶token.DOUBLESLASH¶token.DOUBLESLASHEQUAL¶token.AT¶token.ATEQUAL¶token.RARROW¶token.ELLIPSIS¶token.OP¶token.ERRORTOKEN¶token.N_TOKENS¶token.NT_OFFSET¶
The following token type values aren’t used by the C tokenizer but are needed forthetokenize module.
token.COMMENT¶Token value used to indicate a comment.
token.NL¶Token value used to indicate a non-terminating newline. The
NEWLINEtoken indicates the end of a logical line of Python code;NLtokens are generated when a logical line of code is continued overmultiple physical lines.
token.ENCODING¶Token value that indicates the encoding used to decode the source bytesinto text. The first token returned by
tokenize.tokenize()willalways be anENCODINGtoken.
Changed in version 3.5:AddedAWAIT andASYNC tokens.
Changed in version 3.7:RemovedAWAIT andASYNC tokens. “async” and “await” arenow tokenized asNAME tokens.
