[issue30402] Unexpected and/or inconsistent del behavior

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

Sorry, this is just how expression lists work.  See Grammar/Grammar at https://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Grammar/Grammar

This is really no different than: 
    for [k] is s: ...
or:
    [k, j] = s

> Why not set literals

Because sets are unordered and because it isn't needed.
