Content
In order to test code.InteractiveCompiler (used by IDLE) and codeop._maybe_compile (which IC calls), which calls compile() 3 times with mode 'single', I entered the example as 2 or 3 lines in Shell. >>> [file for str(file) in [] # Error highlight on 's'. ] SyntaxError: cannot assign to function call Breaking the expression elsewhere, including before 'str', gives the same message and highlighted 's'. I did not test before recompiling but it is certainly correct now.
