New submission from Erik Cederstrand <[email protected]>:
When I have a normal syntax error in a file, Python reports the filename in the
exception output:
$ cat syntax_error.py
0x=5
$ python3.8 syntax_error.py
File "syntax_error.py", line 1
0x=5
^
SyntaxError: invalid hexadecimal literal
But if the syntax error is inside an f-string, Python reports 'File
"<fstring>"' instead of the actual filename in the exception output.
$ cat syntax_error_in_fstring.py
f'This is a syntax error: {0x=5}'
$ python3.8 syntax_error_in_fstring.py
File "<fstring>", line 1
SyntaxError: invalid hexadecimal literal
