token — Constants used with Python parse trees¶
Source code: Lib/token.py
This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of leaf nodes
of the parse tree (terminal tokens). Refer to the file Grammar/Tokens
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.
The module also provides a mapping from numeric codes to names and some functions. The functions mirror definitions in the Python C header files.
- token.tok_name¶
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.
- token.ISTERMINAL(x)¶
Return
Truefor terminal token values.
- token.ISNONTERMINAL(x)¶
Return
Truefor non-terminal token values.
- token.ISEOF(x)¶
Return
Trueif x is the marker indicating the end of input.

The following token type values aren’t used by the C tokenizer but are needed for
the tokenize module.
- token.COMMENT
Token value used to indicate a comment.
- token.NL
Token value used to indicate a non-terminating newline. The
NEWLINEtoken indicates the end of a logical line of Python code;NLtokens are generated when a logical line of code is continued over multiple physical lines.
- token.ENCODING¶
Token value that indicates the encoding used to decode the source bytes into text. The first token returned by
tokenize.tokenize()will always be anENCODINGtoken.
- token.TYPE_COMMENT
Token value indicating that a type comment was recognized. Such tokens are only produced when
ast.parse()is invoked withtype_comments=True.
- token.EXACT_TOKEN_TYPES¶
A dictionary mapping the string representation of a token to its numeric code.
Added in version 3.8.
Changed in version 3.5: Added AWAIT and ASYNC tokens.
Changed in version 3.7: Removed AWAIT and ASYNC tokens. “async” and “await” are
now tokenized as NAME tokens.
Changed in version 3.8: Added TYPE_COMMENT, TYPE_IGNORE, COLONEQUAL.
Added AWAIT and ASYNC tokens back (they’re needed
to support parsing older Python versions for ast.parse() with
feature_version set to 6 or lower).
Changed in version 3.13: Removed AWAIT and ASYNC tokens again.
