# The reason that keywords are test nodes instead of NAME is that using NAME # results in an ambiguity. ast.c makes sure it's a NAME. # "test '=' test" is really "keyword '=' test", but we have no such token. # These need to be in a single rule to avoid grammar that is ambiguous # to our LL(1) parser. Even though 'test' includes '*expr' in star_expr, # we explicitly match '*' here, too, to give it proper precedence. # Illegal combinations and orderings are blocked in ast.c: # multiple (test comp_for) arguments are blocked; keyword unpackings # that precede iterable unpackings are blocked; etc. argument: ( test [comp_for] | test '=' test | '**' test | '*' test )
