[issue7260] SyntaxError with a not-existing offset for unicode code

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com> added the comment:

Apparently the position of the caret is based on the number of bytes in
the line, not on the characters:
>>> [aaa for x in]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    [aaa for x in]
                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> [äää for x in]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    [äää for x in]
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

In this example each ä takes two bytes so the caret is 3 extra chars on
the right.
