3. Keywords in Python

It turns out that class is one of the Python keywords. Keywords define the language’s syntax rules and structure, and they cannot be used as variable names. Python has thirty-something keywords (and every now and again improvements to Python introduce or eliminate one or two):

and

as

assert

break

class

continue

def

del

elif

else

except

exec

finally

for

from

global

if

import

in

is

lambda

nonlocal

not

or

pass

raise

return

try

while

with

yield

True

False

None
