In gh-138418, `!` was added to links to rules that don't exist in
the docs, in order to silence broken link warnings.
However, productionlist doesn't parse the `!`, which ends up in
the rendered documentation. (It's possible that gh-127835 broke
the `!` support.)
Replace the names with ones that appear in docs:
- `star_named_expression` in the grammar corresponds to
`flexible_expression` in the docs
- `star_named_expressions` in the grammar corresponds to
`flexible_expression_list` in the docs
- `named_expression` in the grammar corresponds to
`assignment_expression` in the docs
Having two sets of names isn't great of course. Consolidating them
is tracked in (subissues of) gh-127833.
Add '+' alternatives to signed_number and signed_real_number grammar
rules, mirroring how unary minus is already handled for pattern matching.
Unary plus is a no-op on numbers so the value is returned directly without
wrapping in a UnaryOp node.
The behaviour of Cut in nested parentheses, Repeat, Opt, and similar
is somewhat chaotic. Apparently even the academic papers on PEG aren't
as clear as they could be.
And it doesn't really matter. Python only uses top-level cuts.
When that changes, we can clarify as much as necessary (and even
change the implementation to make sense for what we'll need).
Document that this is deliberately unspecified, and add a test to
make sure any decision is deliberate, tested and documented.
Remove untrue part of `__import__` replacement docs
The original statement effectively says that replacing `__import__` at global scope affects import statements, and not only that, but only import statements within the rest of the executing module. None of that has been true since at least Python 2.7, I think.
This was likely missed in python/cpython#69686.
Much of the information was duplicated in stdtypes.rst; this PR keeps lexical/syntactical details in Lexical Analysis and the evaluation & runtime behaviour in Standard types, with cross-references between the two.
Since the t-string section only listed differences from f-strings, and the grammar for the two is equivalent, that section was moved to Standard types almost entirely.

This simplifies the Lexical Analysis section on Names (but keeps it technically correct) by putting all the info about non-ASCII characters in a separate (and very technical) section.
It uses a mental model where the parser doesn't handle Unicode complexity “immediately”, but:
- parses any non-ASCII character (outside strings/comments) as part of a name, since these can't (yet) be e.g. operators
- normalizes the name
- validates the name, using the xid_start/xid_continue sets
