:mod:`keyword` --- Testing for Python keywords

.. module:: keyword
   :synopsis: Test whether a string is a keyword in Python.

Source code: :source:`Lib/keyword.py`

This module allows a Python program to determine if a string is a :ref:`keyword <keywords>` or :ref:`soft keyword <soft-keywords>`.

.. function:: iskeyword(s)

   Return ``True`` if *s* is a Python :ref:`keyword <keywords>`.



.. data:: kwlist

   Sequence containing all the :ref:`keywords <keywords>` defined for the
   interpreter.  If any keywords are defined to only be active when particular
   :mod:`__future__` statements are in effect, these will be included as well.



.. function:: issoftkeyword(s)

   Return ``True`` if *s* is a Python :ref:`soft keyword <soft-keywords>`.

   .. versionadded:: 3.9



.. data:: softkwlist

   Sequence containing all the :ref:`soft keywords <soft-keywords>` defined for the
   interpreter.  If any soft keywords are defined to only be active when particular
   :mod:`__future__` statements are in effect, these will be included as well.

   .. versionadded:: 3.9
