    I have seen this confusion many users over the years. Instead of showing:

    ❯ python -c '[x,z for x,y in something]'
    File "<string>", line 1
    [x,z for x,y in something]
    ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

    We can show:

    ❯ ./python -c '[x,z for x,y in something]'
    File "<string>", line 1
    [x,z for x,y in something]
    ^
    SyntaxError: did you forgot parentheses around the comprehension target?
