Answer 1

"Keyword can't be an expression"

Python's complaining that you're using an assignment expression where a keyword should be, when what it should say (?) is that you can't have numeric keywords (parameter names).

I read somewhere the Python devs were unhappy with error messages that are *technically* correct but contextually confusing (this is one of those)... and they wanted help fixing it.

...it's how I'm reading this at least. Nice example.

Answer 2

Yeah, in my opinion the error message it throws doesn't really specify the issue enough, and throws some people more off than on. On some languages I have seen that assigning to an integer with hashtypes actually work, which might be the cause of this misconception.

Answer 3

Real talk, think about it 💦
