Python keywords

First, of all we have to know what the keywords term means so, keywords are the reserved words in every programming language that cannot be used as variable names, functions names, class names, or any identifiers. They can only be used to define structure and syntax in every language.

For Example:

keywords in C

auto    break    continue    switch    case    default

 and many more...

Keywords in C++

asm    auto    bool    break    case    catch    char    class

and many more...

Keywords in java

abstract    assert    Boolean    break    if    else    char    int    class

and many more...

Just like that, a question is raised How many keywords in python?

So, the answer is there are 33 keywords in python 3.7  and this number may vary with time.

How to check the list of keywords?

import keyword
print(keyword.kwlist)

OUTPUT

['False', 'None', 'True', '__peg_parser__', 'and', 'as', 'assert', 'async', 'await', 'break', 'class', 'continue', 'def', 'del', 'elif', 'else', 'except', 'finally', 'for', 'from', 'global', 'if', 'import', 'in', 'is', 'lambda', 'nonlocal', 'not', 'or', 'pass', 'raise', 'return', 'try', 'while', 'with', 'yield']

After analyzing the python keyword list everyone can say that except True, False and None every keyword is in lowercase
