Python function to check if a given string is a keyword

Question

I'm trying to write a python code to check if a given string is a keyword or not. Is there a function that lists down all keywords? or atleast something that lets me check if a string is a keyword or no. Thanks

You can get the list of keywords in the current python version using kwlist method in keyword module. Import the keyword module and try something like this:

#import the keyword module
import keyword
#function to check if the word is a keyword
def isKeyword(word) :
#get keyword list
   keyword_list = keyword.kwlist
#check if they word is a prt of the keyword list
   if word in keyword_list :
      return "Yes"
   else :
      return "No"

print(isKeyword("Machine"))
print(isKeyword("while"))
