Replace \"condition list\" with \"expression list\"\n2. Remove \"(technically speaking, a condition list)\". since this is already self-evident as \"expressions\" in the PEG grammar.\n\n### Background\nIn Python 1.3, the term \"condition list\" appeared in `eval()` as well as in the Expressions and Statements sections(ref5,6,7) of the documentation.\nIn Python 1.4, the term \"condition list\" no longer appeared in these references(except in `eval()`).\n\nThis suggests that the remaining occurrence in `eval()` is likely an oversight from that transition.\n\n\n\u003c!-- gh-linked-prs -->\n### Linked PRs\n* gh-153811\n* gh-153923\n* gh-153924\n* gh-153925\n\u003c!-- /gh-linked-prs -->\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/tenmyo","@type":"Person","name":"tenmyo"},"datePublished":"2026-07-16T10:19:56Z","url":"https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/153808"}
