[New-bugs-announce] [issue43797] Improve syntax error for invalid comparisons

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

New submission from Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com>:

Improve syntax error for invalid comparisons such as:

>>> if x = 3:
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    if x = 3:
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

to print:

>>> if x = 3:
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    if x = 3:
         ^
SyntaxError: cannot assign to name. Maybe you meant '==' or ':=' instead of '='?

instead
