[Python-ideas] Re: The name Ellipsis should be a constant

We have the following. >>> 12 = True SyntaxError: can't assign to literal >>> True = False SyntaxError: can't assign to keyword >>> ... = False SyntaxError: can't assign to Ellipsis We also have (works better in monospaced font) >>> d[] = True d[] = True ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Beginners might appreciate having instead as error messages: SyntaxError: can't assign to literal: 12 SyntaxError: can't assign to keyword: True SyntaxError: can't assign to literal: ... -- Jonathan
