Marius Gedminas added the comment: Oh, hey, PEP 3127 actually asks for a better error message than "invalid token" for this case: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3127/#tokenizer-exception-handling
So here's a tentative patch to test the waters. I still haven't figured out how to write tests for it (is Lib/test/test_tokenize.py the right place for that?), and I haven't manually tested it either, because building CPython tip fails for me with a strange link error about _PyTraceMalloc_Init/_PyTraceMalloc_Fini. If there's some documentation I should read about submitting CPython patches, or some IRC channel I should join, please tell me! ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34090/better-errors.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20608> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
