It would be indeed be nice, but it's reporting the error when it finds it. Suppose you were typing the program in at the console -- how could it possibly go back and report the error on the previous line? Given python's syntax, does the error even really exist yet on that previous line? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
