[issue43476] Enabling access to showsyntaxerror for IDLE's shell

[Andre Roberge]

Andre Roberge <andre.roberge at gmail.com> added the comment:

Unless I am mistaken, when compiling the code, both SyntaxError and OverflowError instances are caught at the same stage, and likely passed on to showsyntaxerror.  For OverflowError, e.args is not normally a tuple but a string, and *e.args[1] would raise an exception.
