| This patch provides more helpful messages in SyntaxErrors that are caused by indentation problems. In doing so, it lets the err_input routine in pythonrun.c know which token caused the error and what token type is expected, which would enable it to produce other kinds of detailed messages in the future (e.g. "expected a right parenthesis here") even though such messages have not been added in this patch. | ||

| The new messages are: SyntaxError: expected indent here SyntaxError: expected dedent here SyntaxError: unexpected indent SyntaxError: unexpected dedent SyntaxError: dedent does not match any outer indentation level SyntaxError: too many levels of indentation which would have previously only said "invalid syntax" or "invalid token". | ||

| Updated error messages to say "unindent" instead of "dedent". The messages are now: expected an indented block unexpected indent unexpected unindent unindent does not match any outer indentation level |
