[New-bugs-announce] [issue20608] 'SyntaxError: invalid token' is unfriendly

[Marius Gedminas]

New submission from Marius Gedminas:

Type something like the following at the interpreter prompt:

>>> 04208
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    04208
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid token


This is not very descriptive.  I suggest "SyntaxError: invalid octal digit".
