python:标识符必须以字母或下划线开头，后面跟字母,下划线或者数字

标识符合法性检查，首先要以字母或者下划线开始，后面要跟字母,下划线或者或数字.这个小例子只检查长度大于等于 2 的标识符

idcheck.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
'''
idcheck.py -- checks identifiers for validity
'''

import string        # string utility module

# create alphabet and number sets
alphas = string.ascii_letters + '_'
nums = string.digits

# salutation message and input prompt
print ('Welcome to the Identifier Checker v1.0')
print ('Testees must be at least 2 chars long.')
inp = input('Identifier to test ?')


if len(inp) >= 1:

    if inp[0] not in alphas:
        print ('invalid: first symbol must be alphabetic')

    else:
        for otherChar in inp[1:]:
            if otherChar not in alphas + nums:
                print ('invalid: remaining symbols must be alphanumeric')
                break
        else:
            print ("okay as an identifier")
else:
    print ('invalid: length must be >= 1')
