2.3.1 Keywords
</H2>

<P>
The following identifiers are used as reserved words, or
<em>keywords</em> of the language, and cannot be used as ordinary
identifiers.  They must be spelled exactly as written here:
<P>
<div class="verbatim"><pre>
and       del       for       is        raise
assert    elif      from      lambda    return
break     else      global    not       try
class     except    if        or        while
continue  exec      import    pass      yield
def       finally   in        print
</pre></div>

<P>
Note that although the identifier <code>as</code> can be used as part of the
syntax of <tt class="keyword">import</tt> statements, it is not currently a reserved
word.

<P>
In some future version of Python, the identifiers <code>as</code> and
<code>None</code> will both become keywords.
