Actually; as an intermediate proof of concept without getting into hacking the parser, you could hack the pure-Python version of the tokenizer in the tokenize module. IIRC, it has code in a couple places that decides whether to yield a NEWLINE (logical end of line) or an NL (physical end of line that’s just whitespace rather than logical end of line), and whether to check indent level and yield INDENT/DEDENT tokens, based on keeping track of the open bracket count and a backslash flag and probably something else for triple-quoted strings. You’d probably just need to add another flag for the head line of a compound statement to those two places, and the code to set and clear that flag in a couple other places, and that’s it. And then you can run it on a whole mess of code and verify that it’s only different in the cases where you want it to be different (what used to be an ERRORTOKEN or NEWLINE is now an NL because we’re in the middle of a with compound statement header). _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/ZXT5VX2GLHYICHXPIG5GUNQD6D6FE33K/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
