New submission from Takuo Matsuoka <motogeom...@gmail.com>:
The error is this: >>> *() File "<stdin>", line 1 SyntaxError: can't use starred expression here I think it's right SyntaxError is raised here, but the message is incorrect. Indeed, many starred expressions are actually allowed there. E.g., >>> *(), () I happen to have filed in this issue tracker the problem that the definition of a starred expression given in the Language Reference is incorrect. https://bugs.python.org/issue44983 It appears all correct starred expressions and only them are allowed at the point of the error. Thus the error appears to be one because "*()" is not a starred expression in the correct sense. I think the wording in the message should be corrected. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 400344 nosy: Takuo Matsuoka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: SyntaxError describing the error using a wrong term type: behavior versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45014> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
