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.

La notación es una mezcla de EBNF y PEG. En particular, & seguido de un símbolo, ficha o grupo entre paréntesis indica una anticipación positiva (es decir, se requiere que coincida pero no se consume), mientras que ! Indica una anticipación negativa (es decir, se requiere _no_ para partido). Usamos el separador | para referirnos a la «elección ordenada» de PEG (escrito como / en las gramáticas tradicionales de PEG).
