You should only use that as a supplement.

and now you know why ;-).

I meant the fine, heavily edited and constantly improved by 20+ people 
manuals that come with Python. The Global Module Index has one entry 
under K -- the keyword module. The General Index has multiple entries 
for 'keyword', including 'keyword(module)'.

I meant, 'import keyword' or 'import keywords'.
Sorry, I guess perhaps not so obvious if one is not used to Python's 
extreme introspection features.
