This is actually a good point. Having an invalid character in an identifier shows the caret at the end of the identifier, regardless of where in the identifier the error is. That's something that could be improved on, regardless of the quote issue. There's a new parser on its way (PEP 617), so it'd be something to consider on that basis.
