Thanks Chris for your response. 

This problem of an imaginary comma operator was quite clear. The issue I opened is more about the so-called = operator which is not considered as such by the official Python FAQ, at the same place where it was said that comma was not an operator either.

By the way, I opened another issue because the dot operator is missing in the list of tokens that are operators and R. Hettinger seems to consider my objection as admissible. The issue is here: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/99000

It seems that there are some problems with the use of the term operator in the official documentation ;)
