The error message is much better now, thanks you all!
Seems the ^ pointer is not always correct. For example, in the function scope
it's correct:
$ cat test.py
def foo():
s = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft'
$ python3.7 -W error test.py
File "test.py", line 2
s = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft'
^
SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence \P
On the other hand, top-level literals confuses the pointer:
$ cat test.py
s = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft'
$ python3.7 -W error test.py
File "test.py", line 1
s = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft'
^
SyntaxError: invalid escape sequence \P
Is that expected?
