Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
We should definitely document the column offset being 1-based, if it hasn't been already. But be careful, there are some APIs that are 0-based and others that are 1-based, for column offsets. I was quite surprised at some point to find out that we were inconsistent with the column offset, and then I looked at what Emacs and vim do, and I found that both interpret column offsets (in the familiar "filename:lineno:offset: message" format) as 1-based. IIRC I had to fix it in quite a few places because we were actually being inconsistent. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43555> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
