Help! Python Keywords

Python keywords are reserved words you cannot use when you are creating functions or variables. Keywords can potentially change with each version of Python, but you check your existing keywords using the help command:

Try it in the interactive Python console below:

Here is a list of the Python keywords as of Python 3.10:

False	class	from	or
None	continue	global	pass
True	def	if	raise
and	del	import	return
as	elif	in	try
assert	else	is	while
async	except	lambda	with
await	finally	nonlocal	yield
break	for	not

You can learn more about each keyword by using the help command like so:

You can press enter to continue to the next line, and press Q to return to your interactive console.

It's important to not use these keywords when you're writing Python code. For example, you don't want to create a variable or function called "continue" because this is a Python keyword.
