An identifier in Python is a name used to identify a variable, function, class, module or other object. It ( identifier ) starts with a letter A to Z or a to z or an underscore (_) followed by zero or more letters, underscores and digits (0 to 9).
Python does not allow special characters such as @, $, and % within identifiers. Python is a case sensitive programming language. Thus, Hello and hello are two different identifiers in Python.
The following are naming conventions for Python identifiers −
- Class names start with an uppercase letter. All other identifiers start with a lowercase letter.
- Starting an identifier with a single leading underscore indicates that the identifier is private.
- Starting an identifier with two leading underscores indicates a strongly private identifier.
- If the identifier also ends with two trailing underscores, the identifier is a language-defined special name.
