New submission from Ram Rachum <r...@rachum.com>:
I'm a noob on parsing, learning about it, so it's possible I've made a mistake somewhere. I know there's this page: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/grammar.html Which is a full listing of Python's grammar. However, looking at this page: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html I see rules that aren't written there, like longstringitem. I'm guessing that's because these are lexing rules, while the former was a list of parsing rules? If that's the case, shouldn't there also be a full, authoritative list of Python's lexical rules? Possibly alongside the parsing rules? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 369320 nosy: cool-RR, docs@python, georg.brandl, gvanrossum priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Full list of Python lexical rules type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40678> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
