R. David Murray added the comment:

The point is to print one logical line.  Printing a fragment of the logical 
line is clearly not very helpful...I have found myself a number of times 
looking for the bug in the fragment printed, and (quickly, but still...) then 
remembering that the traceback just prints the last physical line and the 
problem might be earlier.

Providing a caret is probably impossible.  I don't think the bytecode contains 
enough information to even make a guess as to where a caret should go.  I'm not 
even sure we can get the logical line.
