New submission from Andre Roberge <[email protected]>:
Consider the following in Python 3.10
>>> ... = 1
File "<stdin>", line 1
... = 1
^^^
SyntaxError: cannot assign to Ellipsis here. Maybe you meant '==' instead of
'='?
>>> __debug__ = 1
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: cannot assign to __debug__
In prior Python versions, assignments to Ellisis written as ... were treated
the same as assignment to __debug__. I believe that the old message was a
better choice.
The error message about assigning to Ellipsis (...) is made even more confusing
since Ellipsis (the name) can be assigned to a different value.
>>> ... == Ellipsis
True
>>> Ellipsis = 1
>>> ... == Ellipsis
False
>>> ...
Ellipsis
