[New-bugs-announce] [issue24869] shlex lineno inaccurate with certain inputs

[Robert Escriva]

New submission from Robert Escriva:

The newlines calculated by the shlex module are inaccurate for certain inputs with comments inline.  I've attached a simple script that illustrates the problem.

My assumption here is that the lineno is supposed to match a line related to the current token.  I'm trying to use changes in the lineno to aggregate tokens into commands.  This may not be an intended use case.
