[New-bugs-announce] [issue30529] Incorrect error messages for invalid whitespaces in f-string subexpressions

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Python parser supports only ' ', '\t', '\x0c' and '\r' as whitespaces. The parser of f-strings raises incorrect error messages for subexpressions consistent only from whitespaces, if they contain whitespaces out this set.

>>> eval("\xa0")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1
     
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier
>>> eval("f'''{\xa0}'''")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1
SyntaxError: f-string: empty expression not allowed
