[issue21979] SyntaxError not raised on "0xaor 1"

[Mika Eloranta]

Mika Eloranta added the comment:

Mark, can you explain why the first example is valid syntax, but the second one is not:

>>> 0xaor 1
10

>>> 0xaand 1
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    0xaand 1
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


I do understand how "0xaor 1" is currently parsed, but I'm not still convinced it should be valid syntax ("0xa or 1" or "(0xa)or 1" would be ok).
