ok... we know it similiar from mathematical expressions: a = 3 b=2 ab = 6 so a missing operator in this field is the multiplicator In Python a missing operator between two strings is solved to default operator +. There was a pep to remove this feature but it was rejected by Guido.

I believe it was a carry over from C. It will only work with literals at compile time and not for run time strings.
