There is literally no 'list literal' syntax. Number, string, and byte 
literals are discussed under Lexical Analysis in
http://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#literals

List, set, and dict displays are discussed under Expressions in
http://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#displays-for-lists-sets-and-dictionaries
and tuples in
http://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#expression-lists
