Python Keywords

Python Keywords

Python has a list of keywords that cannot be used as identifiers (variable names). Trying to use any of these keywords as variables will create a Syntax Error and your Python script will not be run:

>>> False = "Hello campers!"
File "<stdin>"
SyntaxError: can't assign to keyword

>>> break = "Hello campers!"
File "<stdin>", line 1
    break = "Hello campers!"
            ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax
