Creating user defined literals representing a data type

Question

There are literal that represent a built-in data type

Examples

"" represents a string

{} represents a dictionary

How can I make user-defined literals to represent a object of the type I want?

What is wrong with using the same symbols used in the class name followed by parenthesis? Can you give an example of exactly what you would like to use? — Iain Shelvington

Are you trying to overwrite the behavior of operators on the object? — Eric Jin

Or most other languages. You would have to change the python parser and the source code. So this is sadly not possible.
