If there is anything that might justify the name "tuple (or list)
literal" it would be a tuple with each item a literal:
(1, "a", None)
but certainly not one containing expressions or names:
(spam+1, eggs(), aardvark.cheese)
That sounds sensible, I hadn't thought about the terminology that carefully. But in case anyone disagrees, the exact terms are not really the point. The point is that this:
(a, b) = c
is 'assigning to a literal' just as much as this:
f"{a} {b}" = c
Both are just things that look like expressions with dynamic values but aren't.
