32.5. "token" — Constants used with Python parse trees
******************************************************

**Source code:** Lib/token.py

======================================================================

This module provides constants which represent the numeric values of
leaf nodes of the parse tree (terminal tokens).  Refer to the file
"Grammar/Grammar" in the Python distribution for the definitions of
the names in the context of the language grammar.  The specific
numeric values which the names map to may change between Python
versions.

The module also provides a mapping from numeric codes to names and
some functions.  The functions mirror definitions in the Python C
header files.

token.tok_name

   Dictionary mapping the numeric values of the constants defined in
   this module back to name strings, allowing more human-readable
   representation of parse trees to be generated.

token.ISTERMINAL(x)

   Return true for terminal token values.

token.ISNONTERMINAL(x)

   Return true for non-terminal token values.

token.ISEOF(x)

   Return true if *x* is the marker indicating the end of input.

The token constants are:

token.ENDMARKER
token.NAME
token.NUMBER
token.STRING
token.NEWLINE
token.INDENT
token.DEDENT
token.LPAR
token.RPAR
token.LSQB
