Improved error messages
-----------------------
+* The interpreter now provides helpful suggestions when it detects typos in
Python
+ keywords. When a word that closely resembles a Python keyword is encountered,
+ the interpreter will suggest the correct keyword in the error message. This
+ feature helps programmers quickly identify and fix common typing mistakes.
For
+ example:
+
+ .. code-block:: python
+
+ >>> whille True:
+ ... pass
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ whille True:
+ ^^^^^^
+ SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'while'?
+
+ >>> asynch def fetch_data():
+ ... pass
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ asynch def fetch_data():
+ ^^^^^^
+ SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'async'?
+
+ >>> async def foo():
+ ... awaid fetch_data()
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "<stdin>", line 2
+ awaid fetch_data()
+ ^^^^^
+ SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'await'?
+
+ >>> raisee ValueError("Error")
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "<stdin>", line 1
+ raisee ValueError("Error")
+ ^^^^^^
+ SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'raise'?
+
+ While the feature focuses on the most common cases, some variations of
+ misspellings may still result in regular syntax errors.

* When unpacking assignment fails due to incorrect number of variables, the
error message prints the received number of values in more cases than before.
