This seems a regression from 3.9.

>>> foo[x = 1
... ]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    foo[x = 1
        ^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Maybe you meant '==' or ':=' instead of '='?
>>>

Note how the syntax error is in line 1 and yet the REPL asks for more input (the "..." prompt) and doesn't stop until I type "]".

In 3.9 I just get "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" but the REPL doesn't ask for the second line:

>>> foo[x = 1
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    foo[x = 1
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
