[issue42209] Incorrect line reported in syntax error

[gKuhn]

New submission from gKuhn :

Attempting to parse the following python code results in a fairly unhelpful 
syntax error along with an incorrect line number being reported:

#a dodgy f-string

def dodgy(**kwargs):
print(f"{**kwargs}")

The result:

  File "", line 1
(**kwargs)
 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[issue42209] Incorrect line reported in syntax error

[gKuhn]

gKuhn  added the comment:

Ah, that makes sense, thank you for the info.

The line number is probably the most important piece of information here 
anyway. 

It sounds like the syntax error string is already planned and as such this is 
probably a duplicate. 

Please close if this is the case. 

Cheers
