New submission from Christoph Reiter <reiter.christ...@gmail.com>:
I don't know if the bug tracker is the right place for this, please point me to
the right place if not.
Someone faced to the following code (simplified example here) and asked for
help:
```
if 3:
if 1:
print(((123))
if 2:
print(123)
```
This results in the following error:
```
File "error.py", line 5
if 2:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
```
which is very confusing to users not familiar with generator expressions.
I'm wondering if python could improve syntax errors in this case by adding more
context, like point to where it started parsing the current thing and where it
gave up instead to just the later.
