<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#module-tokenize" title="tokenize: Lexical scanner for Python source code."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tokenize</span></code></a> module provides a lexical scanner for Python source code,
|
|
implemented in Python. The scanner in this module returns comments as tokens
|
|
as well, making it useful for implementing “pretty-printers”, including
|
|
colorizers for on-screen displays.</p>
|
|
<p>To simplify token stream handling, all <a class="reference internal" href="../reference/lexical_analysis.html#operators"><span class="std std-ref">operator</span></a> and
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="../reference/lexical_analysis.html#delimiters"><span class="std std-ref">delimiter</span></a> tokens and <a class="reference internal" href="constants.html#Ellipsis" title="Ellipsis"><code class="xref py py-data docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Ellipsis</span></code></a> are returned using
|
|
the generic <a class="reference internal" href="token.html#token.OP" title="token.OP"><code class="xref py py-data docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OP</span></code></a> token type. The exact
|
|
type can be determined by checking the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">exact_type</span></code> property on the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-named-tuple"><span class="xref std std-term">named tuple</span></a> returned from <a class="reference internal" href="#tokenize.tokenize" title="tokenize.tokenize"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tokenize.tokenize()</span></code></a>.</p>

<h2>Tokenizing Input<a class="headerlink" href="#tokenizing-input" title="Link to this heading">¶</a></h2>
|

<p>The primary entry point is a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-generator"><span class="xref std std-term">generator</span></a>:</p>
|
|
<dl class="py function">
|
|
<dt class="sig sig-object py" id="tokenize.tokenize">

<span class="sig-prename descclassname"><span class="pre">tokenize.</span></span><span class="sig-name descname"><span class="pre">tokenize</span></span><span class="sig-paren">(</span><em class="sig-param"><span class="n"><span class="pre">readline</span></span></em><span class="sig-paren">)</span><a class="headerlink" href="#tokenize.tokenize" title="Link to this definition">¶</a></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>The <a class="reference internal" href="#tokenize.tokenize" title="tokenize.tokenize"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tokenize()</span></code></a> generator requires one argument, <em>readline</em>, which
|
|
must be a callable object which provides the same interface as the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="io.html#io.IOBase.readline" title="io.IOBase.readline"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">io.IOBase.readline()</span></code></a> method of file objects. Each call to the
|
|
function should return one line of input as bytes.</p>
|
|
<p>The generator produces 5-tuples with these members: the token type; the
|
|
token string; a 2-tuple <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(srow,</span> <span class="pre">scol)</span></code> of ints specifying the row and
|
|
column where the token begins in the source; a 2-tuple <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(erow,</span> <span class="pre">ecol)</span></code> of
|
|
ints specifying the row and column where the token ends in the source; and
|
|
the line on which the token was found. The line passed (the last tuple item)
|
|
is the <em>physical</em> line. The 5 tuple is returned as a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-named-tuple"><span class="xref std std-term">named tuple</span></a>
|
|
with the field names:
|
|
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">type</span> <span class="pre">string</span> <span class="pre">start</span> <span class="pre">end</span> <span class="pre">line</span></code>.</p>
|
|
<p>The returned <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-named-tuple"><span class="xref std std-term">named tuple</span></a> has an additional property named
|
|
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">exact_type</span></code> that contains the exact operator type for
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="token.html#token.OP" title="token.OP"><code class="xref py py-data docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">OP</span></code></a> tokens. For all other token types <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">exact_type</span></code>
