Testing for Python keywords
===========================

Test whether a string is a keyword in Python.

This module allows a Python program to determine if a string is a
keyword.

`iskeyword(s)'
     Return true if S is a Python keyword.

`kwlist'
     Sequence containing all the keywords defined for the interpreter.
     If any keywords are defined to only be active when particular
     `__future__' statements are in effect, these will be included as
     well.
