To improve the user experience understanding what part of the error messages associated with SyntaxErrors is wrong, we can highlight the whole error range and not only place the caret at the first character. In this way:
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
becomes
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
When printing AttributeError, PyErr_Display will offer suggestions of similar
attribute names in the object that the exception was raised from:
>>> collections.namedtoplo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'namedtoplo'. Did you mean: namedtuple?
* pycore_ast.h no longer defines the Yield macro.
* Fix a compiler warning on Windows: "warning C4005: 'Yield': macro
redefinition".
* Python-ast.c now defines directly functions with their real
_Py_xxx() name, rather than xxx().
* Remove "#undef Yield" in C files including pycore_ast.h.
Remove the pyarena.h header file with functions:
* PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject()
These functions were undocumented, excluded from the limited C API,
and were only used internally by the compiler.
Add pycore_pyarena.h header. Rename functions:
* PyArena_New() => _PyArena_New()
* PyArena_Free() => _PyArena_Free()
* PyArena_Malloc() => _PyArena_Malloc()
* PyArena_AddPyObject() => _PyArena_AddPyObject()
Remove parser functions using the "struct _mod" type, because the
AST C API was removed:
* PyParser_ASTFromFile()
* PyParser_ASTFromFileObject()
* PyParser_ASTFromFilename()
* PyParser_ASTFromString()
* PyParser_ASTFromStringObject()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Add pycore_parser.h internal header file. Rename functions:
* PyParser_ASTFromFileObject() => _PyParser_ASTFromFile()
* PyParser_ASTFromStringObject() => _PyParser_ASTFromString()
These functions are no longer exported (replace PyAPI_FUNC() with
extern).
Remove also _PyPegen_run_parser_from_file() function. Update
test_peg_generator to use _PyPegen_run_parser_from_file_pointer()
instead.
Remove the compiler functions using "struct _mod" type, because the
public AST C API was removed:
* PyAST_Compile()
* PyAST_CompileEx()
* PyAST_CompileObject()
* PyFuture_FromAST()
* PyFuture_FromASTObject()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C API.
Rename functions:
* PyAST_CompileObject() => _PyAST_Compile()
* PyFuture_FromASTObject() => _PyFuture_FromAST()
Moreover, _PyFuture_FromAST() is no longer exported (replace
PyAPI_FUNC() with extern). _PyAST_Compile() remains exported for
test_peg_generator.
Remove also compatibility functions:
* PyAST_Compile()
* PyAST_CompileEx()
* PyFuture_FromAST()
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Most names defined by these header files were not prefixed by "Py"
and so could create names conflicts. For example, Python-ast.h
defined a "Yield" macro which was conflict with the "Yield" name used
by the Windows <winbase.h> header.
Use the Python ast module instead.
* Move Include/asdl.h to Include/internal/pycore_asdl.h.
* Move Include/Python-ast.h to Include/internal/pycore_ast.h.
* Remove ast.h header file.
* pycore_symtable.h no longer includes Python-ast.h.
Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h,
don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with
extern) and rename functions:
* PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope()
* PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build()
* PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free()
Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and
Py_SymtableStringObject() functions.
The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake
but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was
excluded from the limited C API.
The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
Include/{odictobject.h,parser_interface.h,picklebufobject.h,pydebug.h,pyfpe.h}
into Include/cpython/.
Parser: peg_api: include Python.h instead of parser_interface.h.
pymain_run_file() no longer encodes the filename: pass the filename
as an object to the new _PyRun_AnyFileObject() function.
Add new private functions:
* _PyRun_AnyFileObject()
* _PyRun_InteractiveLoopObject()
* _Py_FdIsInteractive()
Fix encoding name when running a ".pyc" file on Windows:
PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags() now uses the correct encoding to decode the
filename.
* Add pyrun_file() subfunction.
* Add pyrun_simple_file() subfunction.
* PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags() now calls _Py_fopen_obj() rather than
_Py_fopen().
These functions are considered not safe because they suppress all internal errors
and can return wrong result. PyDict_GetItemString and _PyDict_GetItemId can
also silence current exception in rare cases.
Remove no longer used _PyDict_GetItemId.
Add _PyDict_ContainsId and rename _PyDict_Contains into
_PyDict_Contains_KnownHash.
This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
This fixes both the traceback.py module and the C code for formatting syntax errors (in Python/pythonrun.c). They now both consistently do the following:
- Suppress caret if it points left of text
- Allow caret pointing just past end of line
- If caret points past end of line, clip to *just* past end of line
The syntax error formatting code in traceback.py was mostly rewritten; small, subtle changes were applied to the C code in pythonrun.c.
There's still a difference when the text contains embedded newlines. Neither handles these very well, and I don't think the case occurs in practice.

Due to backwards compatibility concerns regarding keywords immediately followed by a string without whitespace between them (like in `bg="#d00" if clear else"#fca"`) will fail to parse,
commit 41d5b94af4 has to be reverted.
This commit also allows to pass flags to the new parser in all interfaces and fixes a bug in the parser generator that was causing to inline rules with actions, making them disappear.
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
Rename _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() to _PyInterpreterState_GET()
for consistency with _PyThreadState_GET() and to have a shorter name
(help to fit into 80 columns).
Add also "assert(tstate != NULL);" to the function.
Don't access PyInterpreterState.config member directly anymore, but
use new functions:
* _PyInterpreterState_GetConfig()
* _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig()
* _Py_GetConfig()
Replace _PyInterpreterState_Get() function call with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() macro which is more efficient but
don't check if tstate or interp is NULL.
_Py_GetConfigsAsDict() now uses _PyThreadState_GET().
Move the following functions from the public C API to the internal C
API:
* _PyDebug_PrintTotalRefs(),
* _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses()
* _Py_PrintReferences()
Fix sys.excepthook() and PyErr_Display() if a filename is a bytes
string. For example, for a SyntaxError exception where the filename
attribute is a bytes string.
Cleanup also test_sys:
* Sort imports.
* Rename numruns global var to INTERN_NUMRUNS.
* Add DisplayHookTest and ExceptHookTest test case classes.
* Don't save/restore sys.stdout and sys.displayhook using
setUp()/tearDown(): do it in each test method.
* Test error case (call hook with no argument) after the success case.
Add a new _PyCompilerFlags_INIT macro to initialize PyCompilerFlags
variables, rather than initializing cf_flags and cf_feature_version
explicitly in each variable.
sys.excepthook() and sys.unraisablehook() now explicitly flush the
file (usually sys.stderr).
If file.flush() fails, sys.excepthook() silently ignores the error,
whereas sys.unraisablehook() logs the new exception.
Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught
Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught
exceptions are handled.
threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not
be used directly.
* threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs.
* Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a
'file' parameter.
* Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook
calling _PyErr_Display().
* Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type.
* Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory
details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python
shutdown.
* Add unit tests.
Py_Main() and _Py_RunMain() now return the exitcode rather than
calling Py_Exit(exitcode) when calling PyErr_Print() if the current
exception type is SystemExit.
* Add _Py_HandleSystemExit().
* Add pymain_exit_err_print().
* Add pymain_exit_print().
* Add a private _Py_InitializeMain() function.
* Add again _PyCoreConfig._init_main.
* _Py_InitializeFromConfig() now uses _init_main to decide
if _Py_InitializeMainInterpreter() should be called.
* _PyCoreConfig: rename _frozen to pathconfig_warnings, its value is
now the opposite of Py_FrozenFlag.
* Add an unit test for _init_main=0 and _Py_InitializeMain().
This adds a `feature_version` flag to `ast.parse()` (documented) and `compile()` (hidden) that allow tweaking the parser to support older versions of the grammar. In particular if `feature_version` is 5 or 6, the hacks for the `async` and `await` keyword from PEP 492 are reinstated. (For 7 or higher, these are unconditionally treated as keywords, but they are still special tokens rather than `NAME` tokens that the parser driver recognizes.)

Explicitly reinitialize this every eval *just in case* someone is
calling into an embedded Python where they don't care about an uncaught
KeyboardInterrupt exception (why didn't they leave
`config.install_signal_handlers` set to `0`?!?) but then later call
`Py_Main()` itself (which *checks* this flag and dies with a signal after
its interpreter exits). We don't want a previous embedded interpreter's
uncaught exception to trigger an unexplained signal exit from a future
`Py_Main()` based one.
* bpo-1054041: Exit properly by a signal after a ^C.
An uncaught KeyboardInterrupt exception means the user pressed ^C and
our code did not handle it. Programs that install SIGINT handlers are
supposed to reraise the SIGINT signal to the SIG_DFL handler in order
to exit in a manner that their calling process can detect that they
died due to a Ctrl-C. https://www.cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html
After this change on POSIX systems
while true; do python -c 'import time; time.sleep(23)'; done
can be stopped via a simple Ctrl-C instead of the shell infinitely
restarting a new python process.
What to do on Windows, or if anything needs to be done there has not
yet been determined. That belongs in its own PR.
TODO(gpshead): A unittest for this behavior is still needed.
* Do the unhandled ^C check after pymain_free.
* Return STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT on Windows.
* Fix ifdef around unistd.h include.
* 📜🤖 Added by blurb_it.
* Add STATUS_CTRL_C_EXIT to the os module on Windows
* Add unittests.
* Don't send CTRL_C_EVENT in the Windows test.
It was causing CI systems to bail out of the entire test suite.
See https://dev.azure.com/Python/cpython/_build/results?buildId=37980
for example.
* Correct posix test (fail on macOS?) check.
* STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT must be unsigned.
* Improve the error message.
* test typo :)
* Skip if the bash version is too old.
...and rename the windows test to reflect what it does.
* min bash version is 4.4, detect no bash.
* restore a blank line i didn't mean to delete.
* PyErr_Occurred() before the Py_DECREF(co);
* Don't add os.STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT as a constant.
* Update the Windows test comment.
* Refactor common logic into a run_eval_code_obj fn.
* ast.h now includes Python-ast.h and node.h
* parsetok.h now includes node.h and grammar.h
* symtable.h now includes Python-ast.h
* Modify asdl_c.py to enhance Python-ast.h:
* Add #ifndef/#define Py_PYTHON_AST_H to be able to include the header
twice
* Add "extern { ... }" for C++
* Undefine "Yield" macro conflicting with winbase.h
* Remove "#undef Yield" from C files, it's now done in Python-ast.h
* Remove now useless includes in C files
Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
Py_Main() now handles two more -X options:
* -X showrefcount: new _PyCoreConfig.show_ref_count field
* -X showalloccount: new _PyCoreConfig.show_alloc_count field
PR #1638, for bpo-28411, causes problems in some (very) edge cases. Until that gets sorted out, we're reverting the merge. PR #3506, a fix on top of #1638, is also getting reverted.
* Drop warnoptions from PyInterpreterState.
* Drop xoptions from PyInterpreterState.
* Don't set warnoptions and _xoptions again.
* Decref after adding to sys.__dict__.
* Drop an unused macro.
* Check sys.xoptions *before* we delete it.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
