# 10. Especificación completa de la gramática

Esta es la gramática completa de Python, derivada directamente de la gramática utilizada para generar el analizador CPython (ver Grammar/python.gram). La versión aquí omite detalles relacionados con la generación de código y la recuperación de errores.

The notation used here is the same as in the preceding docs, and is described in the notation section, except for an extra complication:

- `~` («cut»): commit to the current alternative; fail the rule if the alternative fails to parse

  Python mainly uses cuts for optimizations or improved error messages. They often appear to be useless in the listing below.

  Cuts currently don’t appear inside parentheses, brackets, lookaheads and similar. Their behavior in these contexts is deliberately left unspecified.

    # PEG grammar for Python

    # ========================= START OF THE GRAMMAR =========================

    # General grammatical elements and rules:
    #
    # * Strings with double quotes (") denote SOFT KEYWORDS
    # * Strings with single quotes (') denote KEYWORDS
    # * Upper case names (NAME) denote tokens in the Grammar/Tokens file
    # * Rule names starting with "invalid_" are used for specialized syntax errors
    #     - These rules are NOT used in the first pass of the parser.
    #     - Only if the first pass fails to parse, a second pass including the invalid
    #       rules will be executed.
    #     - If the parser fails in the second phase with a generic syntax error, the
    #       location of the generic failure of the first pass will be used (this avoids
    #       reporting incorrect locations due to the invalid rules).
    #     - The order of the alternatives involving invalid rules matter
    #       (like any rule in PEG).
    #
    # Grammar Syntax (see PEP 617 for more information):
    #
    # rule_name: expression
    #   Optionally, a type can be included right after the rule name, which
    #   specifies the return type of the C or Python function corresponding to the
    #   rule:
    # rule_name[return_type]: expression
    #   If the return type is omitted, then a void * is returned in C and an Any in
    #   Python.
    # e1 e2
    #   Match e1, then match e2.
    # e1 | e2
    #   Match e1 or e2.
    #   The first alternative can also appear on the line after the rule name for
    #   formatting purposes. In that case, a | must be used before the first
    #   alternative, like so:
    #       rule_name[return_type]:
    #            | first_alt
    #            | second_alt
    # ( e )
    #   Match e (allows also to use other operators in the group like '(e)*')
    # [ e ] or e?
    #   Optionally match e.
    # e*
    #   Match zero or more occurrences of e.
    # e+
    #   Match one or more occurrences of e.
    # s.e+
    #   Match one or more occurrences of e, separated by s. The generated parse tree
    #   does not include the separator. This is otherwise identical to (e (s e)*).
    # &e
    #   Succeed if e can be parsed, without consuming any input.
    # !e
    #   Fail if e can be parsed, without consuming any input.
    # ~
    #   Commit to the current alternative, even if it fails to parse.
    # &&e
    #   Eager parse e. The parser will not backtrack and will immediately
    #   fail with SyntaxError if e cannot be parsed.
    #
