[New-bugs-announce] [issue2725] Handle ASDLSyntaxErrors gracefully

[Thomas Lee]

New submission from Thomas Lee <tom at vector-seven.com>:

The current code in Parser/asdl.py doesn't handle syntax errors very
well. A minor problem to be sure, since the net result is the same (i.e.
build fails), but the error message being displayed is entirely
unhelpful to the developer.

The attached patch will display the error message as was seemingly intended.

This probably affects earlier versions (including python-trunk), but I
haven't tested.
