A Python program is read by a parser . Input to the parser is a stream of tokens , generated by the 词法分析器 . This chapter describes how the lexical analyzer breaks a file into tokens.
Python reads program text as Unicode code points; the encoding of a source file can be given by an encoding declaration and defaults to UTF-8, see
PEP 3120
for details. If the source file cannot be decoded, a
SyntaxError
被引发。
Python 程序被分成许多 逻辑行 .
The end of a logical line is represented by the token NEWLINE. Statements cannot cross logical line boundaries except where NEWLINE is allowed by the syntax (e.g., between statements in compound statements). A logical line is constructed from one or more physical lines by following the explicit or implicit 行联接 规则。
A physical line is a sequence of characters terminated by an end-of-line sequence. In source files, any of the standard platform line termination sequences can be used - the Unix form using ASCII LF (linefeed), the Windows form using the ASCII sequence CR LF (return followed by linefeed), or the old Macintosh form using the ASCII CR (return) character. All of these forms can be used equally, regardless of platform.
When embedding Python, source code strings should be passed to Python APIs using the standard C conventions for newline characters (the
\n
character, representing ASCII LF, is the line terminator).
注释开头的哈希字符 (
#
) that is not part of a string literal, and ends at the end of the physical line. A comment signifies the end of the logical line unless the implicit line joining rules are invoked. Comments are ignored by the syntax; they are not tokens.
若 Python 脚本第 1 (或第 2) 行注释匹配正则表达式
coding[=:]\s*([-\w.]+)
,将作为编码声明处理此注释;表达式的第 1 组命名源代码文件的编码。编码声明必须单独出现在一行中。若编码声明在第 2 行,第 1 行也必须是仅注释行。推荐的编码表达式形式

若未找到编码声明,默认编码为 UTF-8。此外,若文件的第 1 字节为 UTF-8 字节序标记 (
b'\xef\xbb\xbf'
),声明的文件编码为 UTF-8 (除其它外,这被支持由微软的
notepad
).
若编码有声明,则编码名必须被 Python 识别。encoding (编码) 用于所有词法分析 (包括:字符串文字、注释及标识符)。
Two or more physical lines may be joined into logical lines using backslash characters (
\
), as follows: when a physical line ends in a backslash that is not part of a string literal or comment, it is joined with the following forming a single logical line, deleting the backslash and the following end-of-line character. For example:
if 1900 < year < 2100 and 1 <= month <= 12 \ and 1 <= day <= 31 and 0 <= hour < 24 \ and 0 <= minute < 60 and 0 <= second < 60: # Looks like a valid date return 1
A line ending in a backslash cannot carry a comment. A backslash does not continue a comment. A backslash does not continue a token except for string literals (i.e., tokens other than string literals cannot be split across physical lines using a backslash). A backslash is illegal elsewhere on a line outside a string literal.
Expressions in parentheses, square brackets or curly braces can be split over more than one physical line without using backslashes. For example:
month_names = ['Januari', 'Februari', 'Maart', # These are the 'April', 'Mei', 'Juni', # Dutch names 'Juli', 'Augustus', 'September', # for the months 'Oktober', 'November', 'December'] # of the year
Implicitly continued lines can carry comments. The indentation of the continuation lines is not important. Blank continuation lines are allowed. There is no NEWLINE token between implicit continuation lines. Implicitly continued lines can also occur within triple-quoted strings (see below); in that case they cannot carry comments.
A logical line that contains only spaces, tabs, formfeeds and possibly a comment, is ignored (i.e., no NEWLINE token is generated). During interactive input of statements, handling of a blank line may differ depending on the implementation of the read-eval-print loop. In the standard interactive interpreter, an entirely blank logical line (i.e. one containing not even whitespace or a comment) terminates a multi-line statement.
Leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a logical line is used to compute the indentation level of the line, which in turn is used to determine the grouping of statements.
Tabs are replaced (from left to right) by one to eight spaces such that the total number of characters up to and including the replacement is a multiple of eight (this is intended to be the same rule as used by Unix). The total number of spaces preceding the first non-blank character then determines the line’s indentation. Indentation cannot be split over multiple physical lines using backslashes; the whitespace up to the first backslash determines the indentation.
Indentation is rejected as inconsistent if a source file mixes tabs and spaces in a way that makes the meaning dependent on the worth of a tab in spaces; a
TabError
is raised in that case.
跨平台兼容性说明: because of the nature of text editors on non-UNIX platforms, it is unwise to use a mixture of spaces and tabs for the indentation in a single source file. It should also be noted that different platforms may explicitly limit the maximum indentation level.
A formfeed character may be present at the start of the line; it will be ignored for the indentation calculations above. Formfeed characters occurring elsewhere in the leading whitespace have an undefined effect (for instance, they may reset the space count to zero).
The indentation levels of consecutive lines are used to generate INDENT and DEDENT tokens, using a stack, as follows.
Before the first line of the file is read, a single zero is pushed on the stack; this will never be popped off again. The numbers pushed on the stack will always be strictly increasing from bottom to top. At the beginning of each logical line, the line’s indentation level is compared to the top of the stack. If it is equal, nothing happens. If it is larger, it is pushed on the stack, and one INDENT token is generated. If it is smaller, it must be one of the numbers occurring on the stack; all numbers on the stack that are larger are popped off, and for each number popped off a DEDENT token is generated. At the end of the file, a DEDENT token is generated for each number remaining on the stack that is larger than zero.
Here is an example of a correctly (though confusingly) indented piece of Python code:
def perm(l): # Compute the list of all permutations of l if len(l) <= 1: return [l] r = [] for i in range(len(l)): s = l[:i] + l[i+1:] p = perm(s) for x in p: r.append(l[i:i+1] + x) return r
The following example shows various indentation errors:
def perm(l): # error: first line indented for i in range(len(l)): # error: not indented s = l[:i] + l[i+1:] p = perm(l[:i] + l[i+1:]) # error: unexpected indent for x in p: r.append(l[i:i+1] + x) return r # error: inconsistent dedent
(Actually, the first three errors are detected by the parser; only the last error is found by the lexical analyzer — the indentation of
return r
does not match a level popped off the stack.)
Except at the beginning of a logical line or in string literals, the whitespace characters space, tab and formfeed can be used interchangeably to separate tokens. Whitespace is needed between two tokens only if their concatenation could otherwise be interpreted as a different token (e.g., ab is one token, but a b is two tokens).
Besides NEWLINE, INDENT and DEDENT, the following categories of tokens exist: identifiers , keywords , literals , operators ,和 delimiters . Whitespace characters (other than line terminators, discussed earlier) are not tokens, but serve to delimit tokens. Where ambiguity exists, a token comprises the longest possible string that forms a legal token, when read from left to right.
标识符(也称为 名称 ) are described by the following lexical definitions.
The syntax of identifiers in Python is based on the Unicode standard annex UAX-31, with elaboration and changes as defined below; see also PEP 3131 进一步了解细节。
Within the ASCII range (U+0001..U+007F), the valid characters for identifiers are the same as in Python 2.x: the uppercase and lowercase letters
A
through
Z
, the underscore
_
and, except for the first character, the digits
0
through
9
.
Python 3.0 introduces additional characters from outside the ASCII range (see
PEP 3131
). For these characters, the classification uses the version of the Unicode Character Database as included in the
unicodedata
模块。
Identifiers are unlimited in length. Case is significant.
identifier ::=xid_startxid_continue* id_start ::= <all characters in general categories Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm, Lo, Nl, the underscore, and characters with the Other_ID_Start property> id_continue ::= <all characters inid_start, plus characters in the categories Mn, Mc, Nd, Pc and others with the Other_ID_Continue property> xid_start ::= <all characters inid_startwhose NFKC normalization is in "id_start xid_continue*"> xid_continue ::= <all characters inid_continuewhose NFKC normalization is in "id_continue*">
The Unicode category codes mentioned above stand for:
All identifiers are converted into the normal form NFKC while parsing; comparison of identifiers is based on NFKC.
A non-normative HTML file listing all valid identifier characters for Unicode 4.1 can be found at https://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/table-3131.html .
The following identifiers are used as reserved words, or keywords of the language, and cannot be used as ordinary identifiers. They must be spelled exactly as written here:
False class finally is return
None continue for lambda try
True def from nonlocal while
and del global not with
as elif if or yield
assert else import pass
break except in raise
Certain classes of identifiers (besides keywords) have special meanings. These classes are identified by the patterns of leading and trailing underscore characters:
_*
Not imported by
from module import *
。特殊标识符
_
is used in the interactive interpreter to store the result of the last evaluation; it is stored in the
builtins
module. When not in interactive mode,
_
has no special meaning and is not defined. See section
导入语句
.

字符串文字由以下词法定义描述:
stringliteral ::= [stringprefix](shortstring | longstring)
stringprefix ::= "r" | "u" | "R" | "U"
shortstring ::= "'" shortstringitem* "'" | '"' shortstringitem* '"'
longstring ::= "'''" longstringitem* "'''" | '"""' longstringitem* '"""'
shortstringitem ::= shortstringchar | stringescapeseq
longstringitem ::= longstringchar | stringescapeseq
shortstringchar ::= <any source character except "\" or newline or the quote>
longstringchar ::= <any source character except "\">
stringescapeseq ::= "\" <any source character>
bytesliteral ::= bytesprefix(shortbytes | longbytes)
bytesprefix ::= "b" | "B" | "br" | "Br" | "bR" | "BR" | "rb" | "rB" | "Rb" | "RB"
shortbytes ::= "'" shortbytesitem* "'" | '"' shortbytesitem* '"'
longbytes ::= "'''" longbytesitem* "'''" | '"""' longbytesitem* '"""'
shortbytesitem ::= shortbyteschar | bytesescapeseq
longbytesitem ::= longbyteschar | bytesescapeseq
shortbyteschar ::= <any ASCII character except "\" or newline or the quote>
longbyteschar ::= <any ASCII character except "\">
bytesescapeseq ::= "\" <any ASCII character>
One syntactic restriction not indicated by these productions is that whitespace is not allowed between the
stringprefix
or
bytesprefix
and the rest of the literal. The source character set is defined by the encoding declaration; it is UTF-8 if no encoding declaration is given in the source file; see section
编码声明
.
In plain English: Both types of literals can be enclosed in matching single quotes (
'
) 或双引号 (
"
). They can also be enclosed in matching groups of three single or double quotes (these are generally referred to as
triple-quoted strings
). The backslash (
\
) character is used to escape characters that otherwise have a special meaning, such as newline, backslash itself, or the quote character.
Bytes literals are always prefixed with
'b'
or
'B'
; they produce an instance of the
bytes
type instead of the
str
type. They may only contain ASCII characters; bytes with a numeric value of 128 or greater must be expressed with escapes.
As of Python 3.3 it is possible again to prefix string literals with a
u
prefix to simplify maintenance of dual 2.x and 3.x codebases.
Both string and bytes literals may optionally be prefixed with a letter
'r'
or
'R'
; such strings are called
raw strings
and treat backslashes as literal characters. As a result, in string literals,
'\U'
and
'\u'
escapes in raw strings are not treated specially. Given that Python 2.x’s raw unicode literals behave differently than Python 3.x’s the
'ur'
syntax is not supported.
3.3 版新增:
The
'rb'
prefix of raw bytes literals has been added as a synonym of
'br'
.
3.3 版新增:
Support for the unicode legacy literal (
u'value'
) was reintroduced to simplify the maintenance of dual Python 2.x and 3.x codebases. See
PEP 414

In triple-quoted literals, unescaped newlines and quotes are allowed (and are retained), except that three unescaped quotes in a row terminate the literal. (A “quote” is the character used to open the literal, i.e. either
'
or
"
)。
除非
'r'
or
'R'
prefix is present, escape sequences in string and bytes literals are interpreted according to rules similar to those used by Standard C. The recognized escape sequences are:

注意事项:
As in Standard C, up to three octal digits are accepted.
Unlike in Standard C, exactly two hex digits are required.
In a bytes literal, hexadecimal and octal escapes denote the byte with the given value. In a string literal, these escapes denote a Unicode character with the given value.
3.3 版改变: Support for name aliases [1] has been added.
Exactly four hex digits are required.
Any Unicode character can be encoded this way. Exactly eight hex digits are required.
Unlike Standard C, all unrecognized escape sequences are left in the string unchanged, i.e., the backslash is left in the result . (This behavior is useful when debugging: if an escape sequence is mistyped, the resulting output is more easily recognized as broken.) It is also important to note that the escape sequences only recognized in string literals fall into the category of unrecognized escapes for bytes literals.
Even in a raw literal, quotes can be escaped with a backslash, but the backslash remains in the result; for example,
r"\""
is a valid string literal consisting of two characters: a backslash and a double quote;
r"\"
is not a valid string literal (even a raw string cannot end in an odd number of backslashes). Specifically,
a raw literal cannot end in a single backslash
(since the backslash would escape the following quote character). Note also that a single backslash followed by a newline is interpreted as those two characters as part of the literal,
not
as a line continuation.
Multiple adjacent string or bytes literals (delimited by whitespace), possibly using different quoting conventions, are allowed, and their meaning is the same as their concatenation. Thus,
"hello" 'world'
相当于
"helloworld"
. This feature can be used to reduce the number of backslashes needed, to split long strings conveniently across long lines, or even to add comments to parts of strings, for example:
re.compile("[A-Za-z_]" # letter or underscore "[A-Za-z0-9_]*" # letter, digit or underscore )
Note that this feature is defined at the syntactical level, but implemented at compile time. The ‘+’ operator must be used to concatenate string expressions at run time. Also note that literal concatenation can use different quoting styles for each component (even mixing raw strings and triple quoted strings).
There are three types of numeric literals: integers, floating point numbers, and imaginary numbers. There are no complex literals (complex numbers can be formed by adding a real number and an imaginary number).
Note that numeric literals do not include a sign; a phrase like
-1
is actually an expression composed of the unary operator ‘
-
‘ and the literal
1
.

There is no limit for the length of integer literals apart from what can be stored in available memory.
Note that leading zeros in a non-zero decimal number are not allowed. This is for disambiguation with C-style octal literals, which Python used before version 3.0.

floatnumber ::=pointfloat|exponentfloatpointfloat ::= [intpart]fraction|intpart"." exponentfloat ::= (intpart|pointfloat)exponentintpart ::=digit+ fraction ::= "."digit+ exponent ::= ("e" | "E") ["+" | "-"]digit+
Note that the integer and exponent parts are always interpreted using radix 10. For example,
077e010
is legal, and denotes the same number as
77e10
. The allowed range of floating point literals is implementation-dependent. Some examples of floating point literals:
3.14 10. .001 1e100 3.14e-10 0e0
Note that numeric literals do not include a sign; a phrase like
-1
is actually an expression composed of the unary operator

虚数文字的描述是通过下列词法定义:
imagnumber ::= (floatnumber|intpart) ("j" | "J")
An imaginary literal yields a complex number with a real part of 0.0. Complex numbers are represented as a pair of floating point numbers and have the same restrictions on their range. To create a complex number with a nonzero real part, add a floating point number to it, e.g.,
(3+4j)
。一些虚数文字范例:
3.14j 10.j 10j .001j 1e100j 3.14e-10j
以下令牌是运算符:
+ - * ** / // % @ << >> & | ^ ~ < > <= >= == !=
以下令牌充当语法中的分隔符:
( ) [ ] { }
, : . ; @ = ->
+= -= *= /= //= %= @=
&= |= ^= >>= <<= **=
The period can also occur in floating-point and imaginary literals. A sequence of three periods has a special meaning as an ellipsis literal. The second half of the list, the augmented assignment operators, serve lexically as delimiters, but also perform an operation.
The following printing ASCII characters have special meaning as part of other tokens or are otherwise significant to the lexical analyzer:
' " # \
The following printing ASCII characters are not used in Python. Their occurrence outside string literals and comments is an unconditional error:
$ ? `
