[Python-ideas] Make traceback messages aware of line continuation

Consider the following: assert \ 1 == 0, \ "error" It will produce: Traceback (most recent call last): File "foo.py", line 3, in <module> "error" AssertionError: error The information about the statement which produced the exception is lost. Instead I would expect: Traceback (most recent call last): File "foo.py", line 1, in <module> assert \ 1 == 0, \ "error" AssertionError: error Not sure how easy this is to implement but I think it would be a good enhancement.
