So, I looked at this and #99000 again, and found a better (IMO) way to present the information. What do you think? What this PR is missing now is information from some existing notes:
I'll try adding a section for that next week. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should e.g. assignment op be higher? += is a longer string than +.

Lexically, there is no difference between operators and delimiters, so I combined the section.
This section also serves as a kind of guide for what all the ASCII "symbol" characters do, with notes like “The period can also occur in floating-point and imaginary literals” and “The following printing ASCII characters are not used in Python”.
I've expanded the notes to include
@,{, etc., but (for now) stopped short of adding a table of ASCII characters with links to where they appear.The tables of symbols are reorganized slightly.
.was added to operators (like@, it can be either operator or delimiter).->was moved from augmented assignment to delimiters.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--137713.org.readthedocs.build/
