this section, 3.1.2. Strings, contains the following phrase:
This only works with two literals though
perhaps it was meant to read
This only works with *true* literals though [bolded only for this email]
I think both are right: - It only works when the "two operands" (to the "invisible operator") are literals. - It only works when they really are literals. I still prefer the former, because there's no such thing as "false iterals". Can we think of another unambiguous formulation? Maybe "This only works with literals though"?

Ah, bonjour, Julien.
Perhaps one the following...
But this concatenation without an explicit operator works only if each
operand is a literal.
Or
But this works only if each string is a literal, though, not a variable or
expression.

This would work for me, would you mind opening a pull request? The sentence is in this file: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/tutorial/introduction.rst Bonne journée, -- [mdk](https://mdk.fr)
