New submission from Michael Layzell:
It appears that syntax errors generated by checking the AST will get confused
by indentation and place the caret incorrectly.
With no indentation:
===
1 + 1 = 2
===
File "/Users/mlayzell/test.py", line 1
1 + 1 = 2
^
SyntaxError: can't assign to operator
===
With 4 spaces of indentation:
===
if True:
1 + 1 = 2
===
File "/Users/mlayzell/test.py", line 2
1 + 1 = 2
^
SyntaxError: can't assign to operator
===
As you can see, the caret appears to be placed randomly in the middle of the
second statement, apparently offset (probably by the 4 space indentation).
The above examples were run with Python3.5 on Mac OS X 10.10.4, though my
somewhat-recent trunk clone exhibits the same problems.
