Any way to lint this pattern away? Say what you will about the language and lexer complexity, backwards compatibility. This is a code smell if I have ever seen one.

Enforce consistent formatting, e.g. with black (https://github.com/psf/black) this gets formatted to [0xF or x in (1, 2, 3)].

This issue is caught by a linter and reports, "PEP 8: E225 missing whitespace around operator".

Some cases are, but there are still plenty of patterns that (currently) are not. e.g. `1if 1else 2`
