New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
Spinoff from #41064. In current python, the f'{*x}' traceback ends with (*x) ^ SyntaxError: f-string: can't use starred expression here. For f'{**x}', the message is "f-string: invalid syntax" and the ^ is also under the 2nd character in the replacement expression actually parsed (with a restricted grammar). The Python error handler must special case a syntax error message beginning with 'f-string:' and search the input line for {...} and add its offset. IDLE currently highlights "'", the 2nd char of the original code, instead of '*', the 2nd char of the e.text replacement. It needs to also adjust the offset. ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 389365 nosy: terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: IDLE: fix highlight locationfor f-string field errors type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43600> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
