New submission from Sam Lobel <slo...@lexile.com>: This seems too obvious to have been missed, but also too strange behaviour to be on purpose.
The following works for some reason (note there's no + between the words) >>> variable = "first" "second" >>> print(variable) "firstsecond" In a file, if you're missing a comma between two string literals, it combines them into one string (instead of throwing a syntax error). E.G: >>> a = ["first", ... "second" ... "third"] >>> print(a) ["first" "secondthird"] BUT, the same thing with variables (thankfully) does not work. >>> a = "first" >>> b = "second" >>> c = a b Throws a syntax error. The same sort of thing also breaks for integers. >>> a = 4 7 throws a syntax error. This just seems wrong to me. Is it? Has this been discussed a million times before? ---------- messages: 305252 nosy: Sam Lobel2 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: String literals next to each other does not cause error versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31906> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
