I'm not sure it is the same (or at least related) problem, but a parsing
ambiguity was also reported for the lambda varargslist in 2.x:
http://bugs.python.org/issue2009

I think I'd be happier with fiddling the Grammar to eliminate these
problems if Guido was to chime in as the author of pgen though... (since
pgen appears to be able to make sense of the grammar as it currently
stands, while other parsers sometimes have trouble)

Cheers,
Nick.
