On Windows, Victor's one liner failed on repository debug builds with Windows' process error popup. I have seen this mysterious failure at least once when testing IDLE Shell running on the repository build. After the patch, my debug build gives the correct message, SyntaxError: cannot assign to function call and correctly points to the 's' of 'str' on the first line. Ditto when run from IDLE's Shell or editor. Thank you for the fix. Installed Python 3.10.0a4, Jan 4, gives the correct message but confusingly points at the final ']' on a line by itself. The latter should be fixed in the next release. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42827> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
