# 10. Full Grammar specification

This is the full Python grammar, as it is read by the parser generator and used to parse Python source files:

    # Grammar for Python

    # NOTE WELL: You should also follow all the steps listed at
    # https://devguide.python.org/grammar/

    # Start symbols for the grammar:
    #       single_input is a single interactive statement;
    #       file_input is a module or sequence of commands read from an input file;
    #       eval_input is the input for the eval() functions.
    # NB: compound_stmt in single_input is followed by extra NEWLINE!
