Python provides a number of modules to assist in working with the Python language. These module support tokenizing, parsing, syntax analysis, bytecode disassembly, and various other facilities.
These modules include:

symbol | Constants representing internal nodes of the parse tree. | |
token | Constants representing terminal nodes of the parse tree. | |
keyword | Test whether a string is a keyword in Python. | |
tokenize | Lexical scanner for Python source code. | |
tabnanny | Tool for detecting white space related problems in Python source files in a directory tree. | |
pyclbr | Supports information extraction for a Python class browser. | |
py_compile | Compile Python source files to byte-code files. | |
compileall | Tools for byte-compiling all Python source files in a directory tree. | |
dis | Disassembler for Python byte code. | |
pickletools | Contains extensive comments about the pickle protocols and pickle-machine opcodes, as well as some useful functions. | |
distutils | Support for building and installing Python modules into an existing Python installation. |
