problem also exists in 2.6.
It's a, in my humble opinion, release blocker.

It's been this way since 2.4 at least, probably earlier.

Eric Smith <eric[at]trueblade.com> added the comment:

I'm not sure what release it would be blocking. The oldest version I
have on hand is 2.4, and it's a problem there. If it hasn't caused an
actual problem in that long, then I don't see it as all that critical.

Benjamin Peterson <benjamin[at]python.org> added the comment:

I believe this is actually correct. not does not bind its operand as
powerfully as + does. Thus the parser sees (1 + not) x, which is quite
correctly a syntax error.
