Like other programming languages, Python also has some reserved words whose meaning is already defined by the Python interpreter these reserved words are known as Keywords.
A keyword cannot be used as the identifier. For example, you can not use a variable with the name def because it is a Python keyword that is used to define a function.
List of keywords in Python
The following table shows the list of Python keywords.
Here keywords await and async were recently added in Python 3.7, print and exec were keywords in Python 2.7 now these are changed into built-in Python functions.
You can see the updated list of these keywords in your terminal by using –

Display information of a keyword
You can view the information of each keyword in the terminal by using the help function.
For example to view the details of for keyword use –
