"dict(a = i)" is valid syntax, the compiler expects ")" instead of invalid "for". > 'name' here is a bit vague. The compiler actually expects a name (using Python terminology, see for example NameError). Of course you can propose an other name for "name" (this is just an entity in _PyParser_TokenDescs array). > >>> def f(x, None): > ... pass > +SyntaxError: invalid syntax - ')' expected > > >>> def f(*None): > ... pass > +SyntaxError: invalid syntax - ')' expected > > Here the () are ok too. The compiler means "def f(x,)" and "def f(*)", not "def f()" as you possible expects. |
