As discussed in #1441, Python 3.9's new parser will not parse
(*starred)
even usingcompile()
with thePyCF_ONLY_AST
flag (as
ast.parse()
does), it raises aSyntaxError
. Thisbreaks the four tests that use this file with Python 3.9.
Upstream does not consider this to be a bug - see
https://bugs.python.org/issue40848#msg370643 - so we must
adjust the expression. As suggested by @JelleZijlstra, this just
adds a comma, which makes the new parser happy with it (the old
parser is fine with this form also).
