I'm actually not sure why this can't be handled. Possibly it's a limitation of the parser. Certainly 0 + (not 0) works just fine. This suggests that the exponentiation operator may have been special-cased to cope with this: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#id21 So maybe there's just no corresponding special case for this - which, I have to say, is not exactly a common construct.
