1:mod:`token` --- Constants used with Python parse trees 2======================================================= 3 4.. module:: token 5 :synopsis: Constants representing terminal nodes of the parse tree. 6 7.. sectionauthor:: Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake@acm.org> 8 9**Source code:** :source:`Lib/token.py` 10 11-------------- 12 13This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of leaf nodes 14of the parse tree (terminal tokens). Refer to the file :file:`Grammar/Tokens` 15in the Python distribution for the definitions of the names in the context of 16the language grammar. The specific numeric values which the names map to may 17change between Python versions. 18 19The module also provides a mapping from numeric codes to names and some 20functions. The functions mirror definitions in the Python C header files. 21 22 23.. data:: tok_name 24 25 Dictionary mapping the numeric values of the constants defined in this module 26 back to name strings, allowing more human-readable representation of parse trees 27 to be generated. 28 29 30.. function:: ISTERMINAL(x) 31 32 Return ``True`` for terminal token values. 33 34 35.. function:: ISNONTERMINAL(x) 36 37 Return ``True`` for non-terminal token values. 38 39 40.. function:: ISEOF(x) 41 42 Return ``True`` if *x* is the marker indicating the end of input. 43 44 45The token constants are: 46 47.. include:: token-list.inc 48 49The following token type values aren't used by the C tokenizer but are needed for 50the :mod:`tokenize` module. 51 52.. data:: COMMENT 53 54 Token value used to indicate a comment. 55 56 57.. data:: NL 58 59 Token value used to indicate a non-terminating newline. The 60 :data:`NEWLINE` token indicates the end of a logical line of Python code; 61 ``NL`` tokens are generated when a logical line of code is continued over 62 multiple physical lines. 63 64 65.. data:: ENCODING 66 67 Token value that indicates the encoding used to decode the source bytes 68 into text. The first token returned by :func:`tokenize.tokenize` will 69 always be an ``ENCODING`` token. 70 71 72.. data:: TYPE_COMMENT 73 :noindex: 74 75 Token value indicating that a type comment was recognized. Such 76 tokens are only produced when :func:`ast.parse()` is invoked with 77 ``type_comments=True``. 78 79 80.. versionchanged:: 3.5 81 Added :data:`AWAIT` and :data:`ASYNC` tokens. 82 83.. versionchanged:: 3.7 84 Added :data:`COMMENT`, :data:`NL` and :data:`ENCODING` tokens. 85 86.. versionchanged:: 3.7 87 Removed :data:`AWAIT` and :data:`ASYNC` tokens. "async" and "await" are 88 now tokenized as :data:`NAME` tokens. 89 90.. versionchanged:: 3.8 91 Added :data:`TYPE_COMMENT`, :data:`TYPE_IGNORE`, :data:`COLONEQUAL`. 92 Added :data:`AWAIT` and :data:`ASYNC` tokens back (they're needed 93 to support parsing older Python versions for :func:`ast.parse` with 94 ``feature_version`` set to 6 or lower). 95
