    To improve the user experience understanding what part of the error messages associated to SyntaxErrors are wrong, we can highlight the whole error range and not only place the caret at the first character. In this way:

    >>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
           ^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized

    becomes

    >>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized

    Great!!!  I also tried
>>> try: compile("a xyzjdkjfk", '', 'single')
except SyntaxError as e:
	print(e, e.msg, e.lineno, e.offset, e.end_lineno, e.end_offset)

    invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma? (, line 1) invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma? 1 1 1 12

    The language change that enables the display change is the addition of end_lineno and end_offset attributes. I will look into using these in IDLE. I will submit a PR to augment the What's New entry, so others can also improve their error marking.
