GeezerVison is showing docs.python.org — 9. Full Grammar specification — Python 2.7.18 documentation
This document is for an old version of Python that is no longer supported.
You should upgrade and read the
Python documentation for the current stable release.
9. Full Grammar specification¶This is the full Python grammar, as it is read by the parser generator and used to parse Python source files: # Grammar for Python # Note: Changing the grammar specified in this file will most likely # require corresponding changes in the parser module # (../Modules/parsermodule.c). If you can't make the changes to # that module yourself, please co-ordinate the required changes # with someone who can; ask around on python-dev for help. Fred # Drake <[email protected]> will probably be listening there. # NOTE WELL: You should also follow all the steps listed in PEP 306, # "How to Change Python's Grammar" # Start symbols for the grammar: # single_input is a single interactive statement; # file_input is a module or sequence of commands read from an input file; # eval_input is the input for the eval() and input() functions. # NB: compound_stmt in single_input is followed by extra NEWLINE! single_input: NEWLINE | simple_stmt | compound_stmt NEWLINE file_input: (NEWLINE | stmt)* ENDMARKER eval_input: testlist NEWLINE* ENDMARKER decorator: '@' dotted_name [ '(' [arglist] ')' ] NEWLINE decorators: decorator+ decorated: decorators (classdef | funcdef) funcdef: 'def' NAME parameters ':' suite parameters: '(' [varargslist] ')' varargslist: ((fpdef ['=' test] ',')* ('*' NAME [',' '**' NAME] | '**' NAME) | fpdef ['=' test] (',' fpdef ['=' test])* [',']) fpdef: NAME | '(' fplist ')' fplist: fpdef (',' fpdef)* [','] stmt: simple_stmt | compound_stmt simple_stmt: small_stmt (';' small_stmt)* [';'] NEWLINE small_stmt: (expr_stmt | print_stmt | del_stmt | pass_stmt | flow_stmt | import_stmt | global_stmt | exec_stmt | assert_stmt) expr_stmt: testlist (augassign (yield_expr|testlist) | ('=' (yield_expr|testlist))*) augassign: ('+=' | '-=' | '*=' | '/=' | '%=' | '&=' | '|=' | '^=' | '<<=' | '>>=' | '**=' | '//=') # For normal assignments, additional restrictions enforced by the interpreter print_stmt: 'print' ( [ test (',' test)* [','] ] | '>>' test [ (',' test)+ [','] ] ) del_stmt: 'del' exprlist pass_stmt: 'pass' flow_stmt: break_stmt | continue_stmt | return_stmt | raise_stmt | yield_stmt break_stmt: 'break' continue_stmt: 'continue' return_stmt: 'return' [testlist] yield_stmt: yield_expr raise_stmt: 'raise' [test [',' test [',' test]]] import_stmt: import_name | import_from import_name: 'import' dotted_as_names import_from: ('from' ('.'* dotted_name | '.'+) 'import' ('*' | '(' import_as_names ')' | import_as_names)) import_as_name: NAME ['as' NAME] dotted_as_name: dotted_name ['as' NAME] import_as_names: import_as_name (',' import_as_name)* [','] dotted_as_names: dotted_as_name (',' dotted_as_name)* dotted_name: NAME ('.'
