"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.

Note that a token's value may depend on tokenizer options. For
example, a ""+"" token may be reported as either "PLUS" or "OP", or a
""match"" token may be either "NAME" or "SOFT_KEYWORD".

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 "True" for terminal token values.

token.ISNONTERMINAL(x)

   Return "True" for non-terminal token values.

token.ISEOF(x)

   Return "True" if *x* is the marker indicating the end of input.

The token constants are:

token.NAME

   Token value that indicates an identifier. Note that keywords are
   also initially tokenized as "NAME" tokens.

token.NUMBER

   Token value that indicates a numeric literal

token.STRING

   Token value that indicates a string or byte literal, excluding
   formatted string literals. The token string is not interpreted: it
   includes the surrounding quotation marks and the prefix (if given);
   backslashes are included literally, without processing escape
   sequences.

token.OP

   A generic token value that indicates an operator or delimiter.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** This value is only
   reported by the "tokenize" module. Internally, the tokenizer uses
   exact token types instead.

token.COMMENT

   Token value used to indicate a comment. The parser ignores
   "COMMENT" tokens.

token.NEWLINE

   Token value that indicates the end of a logical line.

token.NL

   Token value used to indicate a non-terminating newline. "NL" tokens
   are generated when a logical line of code is continued over
   multiple physical lines. The parser ignores "NL" tokens.

token.INDENT

   Token value used at the beginning of a logical line to indicate the
   start of an indented block.

token.DEDENT

   Token value used at the beginning of a logical line to indicate the
   end of an indented block.

token.FSTRING_START

   Token value used to indicate the beginning of an f-string literal.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** The token string
   includes the prefix and the opening quote(s), but none of the
   contents of the literal.

token.FSTRING_MIDDLE

   Token value used for literal text inside an f-string literal,
   including format specifications.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** Replacement fields
   (that is, the non-literal parts of f-strings) use the same tokens
   as other expressions, and are delimited by "LBRACE", "RBRACE",
   "EXCLAMATION" and "COLON" tokens.

token.FSTRING_END

   Token value used to indicate the end of a f-string.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** The token string
   contains the closing quote(s).

token.TSTRING_START

   Token value used to indicate the beginning of a template string
   literal.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** The token string
   includes the prefix and the opening quote(s), but none of the
   contents of the literal.

   Added in version 3.14.

token.TSTRING_MIDDLE

   Token value used for literal text inside a template string literal
   including format specifications.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** Replacement fields
   (that is, the non-literal parts of t-strings) use the same tokens
   as other expressions, and are delimited by "LBRACE", "RBRACE",
   "EXCLAMATION" and "COLON" tokens.

   Added in version 3.14.

token.TSTRING_END

   Token value used to indicate the end of a template string literal.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** The token string
   contains the closing quote(s).

   Added in version 3.14.

token.ENDMARKER

   Token value that indicates the end of input. Used in top-level
   grammar rules.

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 an "ENCODING" token.

   **Dettaglio dell’implementazione di CPython:** This token type
   isn't used by the C tokenizer but is needed for the "tokenize"
   module.

The following token types are not produced by the "tokenize" module,
and are defined for special uses in the tokenizer or parser:

token.TYPE_IGNORE

   Token value indicating that a "type: ignore" comment was
   recognized. Such tokens are produced instead of regular "COMMENT"
   tokens only with the "PyCF_TYPE_COMMENTS" flag.

token.TYPE_COMMENT

   Token value indicating that a type comment was recognized. Such
   tokens are produced instead of regular "COMMENT" tokens only with
   the "PyCF_TYPE_COMMENTS" flag.

token.SOFT_KEYWORD

   Token value indicating a soft keyword.

   The tokenizer never produces this value. To check for a soft
   keyword, pass a "NAME" token's string to "keyword.issoftkeyword()".

token.ERRORTOKEN

   Token value used to indicate wrong input.

   The "tokenize" module generally indicates errors by raising
   exceptions instead of emitting this token. It can also emit tokens
   such as "OP" or "NAME" with strings that are later rejected by the
   parser.

The remaining tokens represent specific operators and delimiters. (The
"tokenize" module reports these as "OP"; see "exact_type" in the
"tokenize" documentation for details.)

The following non-token constants are provided:

token.N_TOKENS

   The number of token types defined in this module.

token.EXACT_TOKEN_TYPES

   A dictionary mapping the string representation of a token to its
   numeric code.

   Added in version 3.8.

Cambiato nella versione 3.5: Added "AWAIT" and "ASYNC" tokens.

Cambiato nella versione 3.7: Added "COMMENT", "NL" and "ENCODING"
tokens.

Cambiato nella versione 3.7: Removed "AWAIT" and "ASYNC" tokens.
"async" and "await" are now tokenized as "NAME" tokens.

Cambiato nella versione 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).

Cambiato nella versione 3.12: Added "EXCLAMATION".

Cambiato nella versione 3.13: Removed "AWAIT" and "ASYNC" tokens
again.
