[New-bugs-announce] [issue43859] Improve syntax error for indentation errors

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com>:

The current indentation error is quite simplistic and it does not include the context of the statement that was associated with the indented block and where it was:

>>> def foo():
...     if lel:
...     x = 2
  File "<stdin>", line 3
    x = 2
    ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block

we can improve the error by adding some context:

>>> def foo():
...    if lel:
...    x = 2
  File "<stdin>", line 3
    x = 2
    ^
IndentationError: expected an indented block after if statement in line 2
