Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
IDLE avoids the problem of calculating a location for a '^' below the bad line by instead asking tk to give the marked character (and maybe more) a 'ERROR' tag, which shows as a red background. So it marks the '$' of 'A_I_U_E_O$' and the 'alid' slice of 'inv\u200balid' (from duplicate #10384). When the marked character is '\n', the space following the line is tagged. Is it possible to do something similar with any of the major system consoles? ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2382> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
