Probably because it was never a SyntaxError in the first place. If you 
execute the code given for T, it gives a TypeError, just as you would 
expect.

Possibly the Original Poster had mistyped something at some point and got 
a SyntaxError, or more likely he's just using "syntax error" to mean 
"some exception which I haven't actually looked at".
