[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: ...
