[issue42577] Unhelpful syntax error when expression spans multiple lines

[Christoph Reiter]

Christoph Reiter <reiter.christoph at gmail.com> added the comment:

I would expect Python to print the current statement up to the error instead of just the last line:

```
File "error.py", line 3-5
          print(((123))

  if 2:
      ^
```

This would solve this case nicely while in the common case still show one line as before.
