Current IDLE indicates the SyntaxError position given by Python by highlighting the character, as in the editor. No more caret. End of problem. There is no fixed-width Unicode font. I revised the font sample in part to let people see which alphabets fixed in a particular font face. Courier likely is best for this: Ascii, Latin1, IPA, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrow, and Arabic all have the same fixed pitch, but this makes for some badly scruntched characters. I emailed Pratik about the userid issue and the solution (upgrade). ---------- resolution: -> out of date stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed title: Syntax Error showing pointer in wrong location -> IDLE: Syntax Error showing pointer in wrong location _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42623> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
