https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25445439/what-does-syntaxerror-missing-p... I have a vague recollection that a certain computer system (Amiga?) had a 'why' command. If it reported an error, you could type "why" and it would give you more details.
I suspect that all that was happening was that when the error occurred it would store the additional details somewhere that the 'why' command would simply retrieve.
Well, a typical Linux install includes "errno" util: $ errno 13 EACCES 13 Permission denied So, hail to error numbers. And indeed, even if some may think they're artifact of 1980'ies, they're alive, well, and useful: $ pylint --help-msg W1651 :deprecated-itertools-function (W1651): *Accessing a deprecated function on the itertools module* Used when accessing a function on itertools that has been removed in Python 3. This message belongs to the python3 checker. It can't be emitted when using Python >= 3.0. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
