Then the definition is wrong. I think "literal" is a word whose meaning is generally agreed on, rather than something each language's spec can invent from whole cloth for itself. It's not a python term, it's a programming term. And the documentation doesn't even use it consistently; it calls {} a literal. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
