Hello!  For future tickets, please include all relevant info here rather that only links.

According to the Language Reference, a starred expression is defined by

starred_expression ::=  expression | (starred_item ",")* [starred_item]

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#expression-lists

However, in view of the definition of an assignment statement

assignment_stmt ::=  (target_list "=")+ (starred_expression | yield_expression)

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#assignment-statements

I believe the correct definition actually used is

starred_expression ::=  expression | (starred_item ",")+ [starred_item]

(that is, use "+" instead of "*").

Should it be fixed?
