[New-bugs-announce] [issue24003] variable naming

[john kaiser]

New submission from john kaiser:

found error when naming variables with basic functions

how to replicate

while=123 #while should be treated as variable name
while True: #this should be treated as a function
	print while #this should be as a variable name

result:
  File "C:\Users\_you got served_\Desktop\bugs.py", line 1
    while = 123
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
