<h1>9. Full Grammar specification<a class="headerlink" href="#full-grammar-specification" title="Permalink to this headline">ΒΆ</a></h1>
<p>This is the full Python grammar, as it is read by the parser generator and used
to parse Python source files:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre># Grammar for Python
# Note: Changing the grammar specified in this file will most likely
# require corresponding changes in the parser module
# (../Modules/parsermodule.c). If you can't make the changes to
# that module yourself, please co-ordinate the required changes
# with someone who can; ask around on python-dev for help. Fred
# Drake <fdrake@acm.org> will probably be listening there.
# NOTE WELL: You should also follow all the steps listed in PEP 306,
# "How to Change Python's Grammar"
# Start symbols for the grammar:
# single_input is a single interactive statement;
# file_input is a module or sequence of commands read from an input file;
# eval_input is the input for the eval() and input() functions.
# NB: compound_stmt in single_input is followed by extra NEWLINE!
