In Python, keywords are reserved words that have a predefined meaning in the language and cannot be used as identifiers (e.g., variable names, function names). These keywords are part of the syntax and cannot be redefined.
List of Python Keywords:
You can get the complete list of Python keywords by importing the keyword module and using keyword.kwlist. But here's a quick overview of the most common Python keywords:
import keyword
print(keyword.kwlist)
Common Python Keywords:
False – Boolean value indicating "false"
True – Boolean value indicating "true"
None – Represents the absence of a value
if, else, elif – Conditional statements
for, while – Looping constructs
break – Exit a loop
continue – Skip the rest of the loop and continue with the next iteration
def – Define a function
return – Return a value from a function
import, from – Import modules or specific elements from a module

class – Define a class
try, except, finally – Exception handling

lambda – Create anonymous functions
global – Declare a global variable
nonlocal – Used to work with variables inside nested functions
and, or, not – Logical operators
is, is not – Identity operators (checks if two objects are the same)
in, not in – Membership operators (checks if a value is in a sequence)
pass – Placeholder statement (does nothing)
assert – Used for debugging purposes
del – Delete an object
Example:
# Using keywords in Python

How to Check the List of Keywords:
You can run this code in your Python environment to check the current list of keywords:
import keyword
