Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Currently, >>> * 2 # or * a SyntaxError: can use starred expression only as assignment target This conflicts with your desired message. It cannot change because *a, at least, is a valid statement prefix in a way that '/ a' is not.
Most other things give an uninformative generic 'invalid syntax' message (plus a more informative location indicator). If you can find a way to improve this, lots of people would be happy ;-). ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy versions: +Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19080> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
