[issue23275] Can assign [] = (), but not () = []

[Kyle Buzsaki]

Kyle Buzsaki added the comment:

It seems that assigning to [] is the odd one out in this case. Why is this even 
possible?

>>> [] = ()
>>> [] = {}
>>> [] = set()
>>> list() = ()
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to function call
>>> () = []
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to ()
>>> {} = []
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to literal
>>> set() = []
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: can't assign to function call
>>>
