[issue21669] Custom error messages when print & exec are used as statements

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

Nice! I put it through a bit of a torture test and found a few odd corners. E.g. it doesn't catch this:

    if 1: print 42

nor this:

    if 1:
        print 42

nor this:

    def foo():
        print 42

I also notice that if the printed expression starts with a unary + or -, it is not a syntax error but a type error. But I don't think we should try to do anything about that.
