Makes no sense unless the link back here was an issue.  Oh well, I tried.

[issue42623] IDLE: Syntax Error showing pointer in wrong location

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

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).
