Constants used with Python parse trees
</A>
<A NAME=
"module-symbol"></A>
This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of
internal nodes of the parse tree. Unlike most Python constants, these
use lower-case names. Refer to the file
<span class=
"file">Grammar/Grammar
</span> in the
Python distribution for the definitions of the names in the context of
the language grammar. The specific numeric values which the names map
to may change between Python versions.
This module also provides one additional data object:
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-
4959' xml:id='l2h-
4959'
>sym_name
</tt></b></dt>
Dictionary mapping the numeric values of the constants defined in
this module back to name strings, allowing more human-readable
representation of parse trees to be generated.
