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

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

To be more clear: the parser takes the longest token that could be valid. Since "n" can't be part of a hex number, parsing stops there, returning "0xaa" as the first token.

So:

>>> 0xaaif 1 else 0
170
>>> hex(0xaaif 1 else 0)
'0xaa'
>>>
