Certain classes of identifiers (besides keywords) have special meanings. These are:
Form | Meaning | Notes |
---|---|---|
_* |
Not imported by "from module import *" | (1) |
__*__ |
System-defined name | |
__* |
Class-private name mangling |
(XXX need section references here.)
Note:
Note that although the identifier as
can be used as part of the
syntax of import statements, it is not currently a reserved
word.
In some future version of Python, the identifiers as
and
None
will both become keywords.
