Nick Coghlan added the comment: Ah, re-reading the comments when reviewing Sanyam's patch, I just remembered the problem with the "print >> sys.stderr, output" case, which is that it isn't a syntax error, it's a runtime type error:
``` >>> print >> sys.stderr, "message" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for >>: 'builtin_function_or_method' and '_io.TextIOWrapper' ``` So if we ever wanted to provide a specialised prompt for that, it would need to go into the right-shift operator implementation as a final check before raising the type error, rather than here. That reduces the cases we need to handle here to just the default one and the softspace one, where a trailing comma in the statement text gets replaced with ", end=' '". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30597> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
