SyntaxError('invalid syntax', ('<stdin>', 1, 2, '+\n'))
print_error_text() effectively ignores trailing newlines when placing
the caret, while traceback.format_exception_only() does not. For certain
syntax errors the offset reported is sometimes at the newline, as in the
case of a line of code that ends just with a plus sign (and in other
similar cases).
I'm attaching a patch for trunk that fixes this issue. I know it also
affects Python 2.5, and I'm sure it affects versions prior. I don't know
about Python 3.0.
