New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablog...@gmail.com>:

Consider the following program:

( a + b + c ] )

The current error is:

>>> ( a + b + c ] )
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    ( a + b + c ] )
                ^
SyntaxError: closing parenthesis ']' does not match opening parenthesis '('

Which is not bad, but the problem is not that the "(" is not closed (it is) but 
that the "]" was never opened. An improvement would be:

>>> ( a + b + c ] )
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    ( a + b + c ] )
                ^
SyntaxError: closing parenthesis ']' was never opened
