[issue33991] lib2to3 should parse f-strings

[skreft]

skreft <skreft at gmail.com> added the comment:

Note also, that lib2to3 will parse invalid f-strings like f"hello {", whereas ast.parse will raise a SyntaxError exception.


See below for reproduction cases:
In [2]: lib2to3.tests.support.parse_string('f"hello {"')
Out[2]: Node(file_input, [Node(simple_stmt, [Leaf(3, 'f"hello {"'), Leaf(4, '\n')]), Leaf(0, '')])

In [4]: ast.parse('f"hello {"')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/skreft/.virtualenvs/pyfaster/lib/python3.6/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py", line 2963, in run_code
    exec(code_obj, self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns)

  File "<ipython-input-4-78a4f2773f7f>", line 1, in <module>
    ast.parse('f"hello {"')

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/ast.py", line 35, in parse
    return compile(source, filename, mode, PyCF_ONLY_AST)

  File "<unknown>", line 1
SyntaxError: f-string: expecting '}'
