+ 'Pattern matching takes a pattern as input (following "case") and '
+ 'a\n'
+ 'subject value (following "match"). The pattern (which may '
+ 'contain\n'
+ 'subpatterns) is matched against the subject value. The outcomes '
+ 'are:\n'

+ 'Overview\n'
+ '--------\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Here’s an overview of the logical flow of a match statement:\n'
+ '\n'
+ '1. The subject expression "subject_expr" is evaluated and a '
+ 'resulting\n'
+ ' subject value obtained. If the subject expression contains a '
+ 'comma,\n'
+ ' a tuple is constructed using the standard rules.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '2. Each pattern in a "case_block" is attempted to match with '
+ 'the\n'
+ ' subject value. The specific rules for success or failure are\n'
+ ' described below. The match attempt can also bind some or all '
+ 'of the\n'
+ ' standalone names within the pattern. The precise pattern '
+ 'binding\n'
+ ' rules vary per pattern type and are specified below. **Name\n'
+ ' bindings made during a successful pattern match outlive the\n'
+ ' executed block and can be used after the match statement**.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' Note:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' During failed pattern matches, some subpatterns may '
+ 'succeed.\n'
+ ' Do not rely on bindings being made for a failed match.\n'
+ ' Conversely, do not rely on variables remaining unchanged '
+ 'after\n'
+ ' a failed match. The exact behavior is dependent on\n'
+ ' implementation and may vary. This is an intentional '
+ 'decision\n'
+ ' made to allow different implementations to add '
+ 'optimizations.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '3. If the pattern succeeds, the corresponding guard (if present) '
+ 'is\n'
+ ' evaluated. In this case all name bindings are guaranteed to '
+ 'have\n'
+ ' happened.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' * If the guard evaluates as truthy or missing, the "block" '
+ 'inside\n'
+ ' "case_block" is executed.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' * Otherwise, the next "case_block" is attempted as described '
+ 'above.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' * If there are no further case blocks, the match statement '
+ 'is\n'
+ ' completed.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Note:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' Users should generally never rely on a pattern being '
+ 'evaluated.\n'
+ ' Depending on implementation, the interpreter may cache values '
+ 'or use\n'
+ ' other optimizations which skip repeated evaluations.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A sample match statement:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' >>> flag = False\n'
+ ' >>> match (100, 200):\n'
+ ' ... case (100, 300): # Mismatch: 200 != 300\n'
+ " ... print('Case 1')\n"
+ ' ... case (100, 200) if flag: # Successful match, but '
+ 'guard fails\n'
+ " ... print('Case 2')\n"
+ ' ... case (100, y): # Matches and binds y to 200\n'
+ " ... print(f'Case 3, y: {y}')\n"
+ ' ... case _: # Pattern not attempted\n'
+ " ... print('Case 4, I match anything!')\n"
+ ' ...\n'
+ ' Case 3, y: 200\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In this case, "if flag" is a guard. Read more about that in the '
+ 'next\n'
+ 'section.\n'

+ 'Guards\n'
+ '------\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' guard ::= "if" named_expression\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A "guard" (which is part of the "case") must succeed for code '
+ 'inside\n'
+ 'the "case" block to execute. It takes the form: "if" followed '

+ '\n'
+ 'The logical flow of a "case" block with a "guard" follows:\n'
+ '\n'
+ '1. Check that the pattern in the "case" block succeeded. If '
+ 'the\n'
+ ' pattern failed, the "guard" is not evaluated and the next '
+ '"case"\n'
+ ' block is checked.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '2. If the pattern succeeded, evaluate the "guard".\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' * If the "guard" condition evaluates to “truthy”, the case '
+ 'block is\n'
+ ' selected.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' * If the "guard" condition evaluates to “falsy”, the case '
+ 'block is\n'
+ ' not selected.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' * If the "guard" raises an exception during evaluation, the\n'
+ ' exception bubbles up.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Guards are allowed to have side effects as they are '
+ 'expressions.\n'
+ 'Guard evaluation must proceed from the first to the last case '
+ 'block,\n'
+ 'one at a time, skipping case blocks whose pattern(s) don’t all\n'
+ 'succeed. (I.e., guard evaluation must happen in order.) Guard\n'
+ 'evaluation must stop once a case block is selected.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Irrefutable Case Blocks\n'
+ '-----------------------\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'An irrefutable case block is a match-all case block. A match\n'
+ 'statement may have at most one irrefutable case block, and it '
+ 'must be\n'
+ 'last.\n'

+ ' as_pattern ::= or_pattern "as" capture_pattern\n'

+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms "P as NAME" will match with "P", and on success '
+ 'it\n'
+ 'will set "NAME = <subject>".\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Literal Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A literal pattern corresponds to most literals in Python. '
+ 'Syntax:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' literal_pattern ::= signed_number\n'
+ ' | signed_number "+" NUMBER\n'
+ ' | signed_number "-" NUMBER\n'
+ ' | strings\n'
+ ' | "None"\n'

+ ' | signed_number: NUMBER | "-" NUMBER\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'The rule "strings" and the token "NUMBER" are defined in the '
+ 'standard\n'
+ 'Python grammar. Triple-quoted strings are supported. Raw '
+ 'strings and\n'
+ 'byte strings are supported. Formatted string literals are not\n'
+ 'supported.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'The forms "signed_number \'+\' NUMBER" and "signed_number \'-\' '
+ 'NUMBER"\n'
+ 'are for expressing complex numbers; they require a real number '
+ 'on the\n'
+ 'left and an imaginary number on the right. E.g. "3 + 4j".\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms, "LITERAL" will succeed only if "<subject> ==\n'
+ 'LITERAL". For the singletons "None", "True" and "False", the '
+ '"is"\n'
+ 'operator is used.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Capture Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A capture pattern binds the subject value to a name. Syntax:\n'
+ '\n'
+ " capture_pattern ::= !'_' NAME\n"
+ '\n'
+ 'A single underscore "_" is not a capture pattern (this is what '
+ '"!\'_\'"\n'
+ 'expresses). And is instead treated as a "wildcard_pattern".\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In a given pattern, a given name can only be bound once. E.g. '
+ '"case\n'
+ 'x, x: ..." is invalid while "case [x] | x: ..." is allowed.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Capture patterns always succeed. The binding follows scoping '
+ 'rules\n'
+ 'established by the assignment expression operator in **PEP '
+ '572**; the\n'
+ 'name becomes a local variable in the closest containing function '
+ 'scope\n'
+ 'unless there’s an applicable "global" or "nonlocal" statement.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms "NAME" will always succeed and it will set "NAME '
+ '=\n'
+ '<subject>".\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Wildcard Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A wildcard pattern always succeeds (matches anything) and binds '
+ 'no\n'
+ 'name. Syntax:\n'
+ '\n'
+ " wildcard_pattern ::= '_'\n"
+ '\n'
+ '"_" is a soft keyword.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms, "_" will always succeed.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Value Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A value pattern represents a named value in Python. Syntax:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' value_pattern ::= attr\n'
+ ' attr ::= name_or_attr "." NAME\n'
+ ' name_or_attr ::= attr | NAME\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'The dotted name in the pattern is looked up using standard '
+ 'Python name\n'
+ 'resolution rules. The pattern succeeds if the value found '
+ 'compares\n'
+ 'equal to the subject value (using the "==" equality operator).\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms "NAME1.NAME2" will succeed only if "<subject> '
+ '==\n'
+ 'NAME1.NAME2"\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Note:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' If the same value occurs multiple times in the same match '
+ 'statement,\n'
+ ' the interpreter may cache the first value found and reuse it '
+ 'rather\n'
+ ' than repeat the same lookup. This cache is strictly tied to a '
+ 'given\n'
+ ' execution of a given match statement.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Group Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A group pattern allows users to add parentheses around patterns '
+ 'to\n'
+ 'emphasize the intended grouping. Otherwise, it has no '
+ 'additional\n'
+ 'syntax. Syntax:\n'

+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms "(P)" has the same effect as "P".\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Sequence Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A sequence pattern contains several subpatterns to be matched '
+ 'against\n'
+ 'sequence elements. The syntax is similar to the unpacking of a '
+ 'list or\n'
+ 'tuple.\n'
+ '\n'

+ ' star_pattern ::= "*" (capture_pattern | '
+ 'wildcard_pattern)\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'There is no difference if parentheses or square brackets are '
+ 'used for\n'
+ 'sequence patterns (i.e. "(...)" vs "[...]" ).\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Note:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' A single pattern enclosed in parentheses without a trailing '
+ 'comma\n'
+ ' (e.g. "(3 | 4)") is a group pattern. While a single pattern '
+ 'enclosed\n'
+ ' in square brackets (e.g. "[3 | 4]") is still a sequence '
+ 'pattern.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'At most one star subpattern may be in a sequence pattern. The '
+ 'star\n'
+ 'subpattern may occur in any position. If no star subpattern is\n'
+ 'present, the sequence pattern is a fixed-length sequence '
+ 'pattern;\n'
+ 'otherwise it is a variable-length sequence pattern.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'The following is the logical flow for matching a sequence '
+ 'pattern\n'
+ 'against a subject value:\n'
+ '\n'
+ '1. If the subject value is not an instance of a\n'
+ ' "collections.abc.Sequence" the sequence pattern fails.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '2. If the subject value is an instance of "str", "bytes" or\n'
+ ' "bytearray" the sequence pattern fails.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '3. The subsequent steps depend on whether the sequence pattern '
+ 'is\n'
+ ' fixed or variable-length.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' If the sequence pattern is fixed-length:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' 1. If the length of the subject sequence is not equal to the '
+ 'number\n'
+ ' of subpatterns, the sequence pattern fails\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' 2. Subpatterns in the sequence pattern are matched to their\n'
+ ' corresponding items in the subject sequence from left to '
+ 'right.\n'
+ ' Matching stops as soon as a subpattern fails. If all\n'
+ ' subpatterns succeed in matching their corresponding item, '
+ 'the\n'
+ ' sequence pattern succeeds.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' Otherwise, if the sequence pattern is variable-length:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' 1. If the length of the subject sequence is less than the '
+ 'number of\n'
+ ' non-star subpatterns, the sequence pattern fails.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' 2. The leading non-star subpatterns are matched to their\n'
+ ' corresponding items as for fixed-length sequences.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' 3. If the previous step succeeds, the star subpattern matches '
+ 'a\n'
+ ' list formed of the remaining subject items, excluding the\n'
+ ' remaining items corresponding to non-star subpatterns '
+ 'following\n'
+ ' the star subpattern.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' 4. Remaining non-star subpatterns are matched to their\n'
+ ' corresponding subject items, as for a fixed-length '
+ 'sequence.\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' Note:\n'
+ '\n'
+ ' The length of the subject sequence is obtained via "len()" '
+ '(i.e.\n'
+ ' via the "__len__()" protocol). This length may be cached '
+ 'by the\n'
+ ' interpreter in a similar manner as value patterns.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'In simple terms "[P1, P2, P3," … ", P<N>]" matches only if all '
+ 'the\n'
+ 'following happens:\n'
+ '\n'
+ '* "isinstance(<subject>, collections.abc.Sequence)"\n'

+ '* "P1" matches "<subject>[0]" (note that this match can also '

+ '* "P2" matches "<subject>[1]" (note that this match can also '
+ 'bind\n'
+ ' names)\n'
+ '\n'
+ '* … and so on for the corresponding pattern/element.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Mapping Patterns\n'
+ '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'A mapping pattern contains one or more key-value patterns. The '
+ 'syntax\n'
+ 'is similar to the construction of a dictionary. Syntax:\n'

+ ' mapping_pattern ::= "{" [items_pattern] "}"\n'

+ 'At most one double star pattern may be in a mapping pattern. '
+ 'The\n'
+ 'double star pattern must be the last subpattern in the mapping\n'
+ 'pattern.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Duplicate key values in mapping patterns are disallowed. (If all '
+ 'key\n'
+ 'patterns are literal patterns this is considered a syntax '

+ 'The following is the logical flow for matching a mapping '

+ 'against a subject value:\n'
+ '\n'
+ '1. If the subject value is not an instance of\n'

+ '\n'
+ '2. If every key given in the mapping pattern is present in the '
+ 'subject\n'
+ ' mapping, and the pattern for each key matches the '

+ ' item of the subject mapping, the mapping pattern succeeds.\n'
+ '\n'
+ '3. If duplicate keys are detected in the mapping pattern, the '

+ ' is considered invalid and "ValueError" is raised.\n'
+ '\n'
+ 'Note:\n'
