The current CPython parser usually just produces "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" for any error, while other languages that I work with usually say something more precise like 'expected x, got y'. What will the error messages in the PEG parser look like? Making syntax errors more informative can be a nice improvement to usability.
And related to that, how precisely will it be able to pinpoint the location of the error? The backtracking worries me a bit in that regard. I can imagine it trying all possible ways to parse the input and then only being able to say "Something is wrong somewhere in this file." -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/AW3FIDN6BTD2UANVBPT4LO76PALKVLJN/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
