Thanks to you both, I have made some progress on introducing my own keywords to python interpreter. I think it is very kind of you to answer my question. I think I can take it from here. Thanks again :)

For any changes where that isn't sufficient, then http://docs.python.org/devguide/grammar.html provides a helpful list of additional places to check (and http://docs.python.org/devguide/compiler.html provides info on how it all hangs together). However, rather than changing the keywords, it would likely be better to allow alternate keywords to avoid the problem Martin mentioned with existing Python code failing to run (including the entire standard library).
