I can understand the language definition and I can accept it at face value. The confusion I have is that it does not appear to be consistent. My example of -5**4 vs 4**-2 would both have literals with a unary sign. One works as expected, whereas the other one does not. Granted that I am new to Python, although well experience in development and programming; I will conceded to those more experienced in Python development that it is as it should be.
