# 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.
