Keywords in Python
Python Keywords are some predefined and reserved words in Python that have special meanings. Keywords are used to define the syntax of the coding. The keyword cannot be used as an identifier, function, or variable name. All the keywords in Python are written in lowercase except True and False. There are 35 keywords in Python 3.11.
In Python, there is an inbuilt keyword module that provides an iskeyword() function that can be used to check whether a given string is a valid keyword or not. Furthermore, we can check the name of the keywords in Python by using the kwlist attribute of the keyword module.
