Given that is quite common to forgot a comma in containers, function calls, ...etc and that the current error is:

>>> [a, b, c d]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    [a, b, c d]
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

We could improve the user experience quite a lot if we mention that probably the user forgot a comma:

>>> [a, b, c d]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    [a, b, c d]
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?
