I should have stated that more clearly. In Python, "or" is both an operator and a keyword. In most languages, numeric literals, identifiers, and keywords cannot be adjacent, but any of then can be adjacent to a token that consists of punctuation characters. (In some languages, most or all operators spelled using punctuation characters, which is what I had in mind when I wrote my previous comment.)
