[New-bugs-announce] [issue46042] Error range of "duplicate argument" SyntaxErrors is too big

[Carl Friedrich Bolz-Tereick]

New submission from Carl Friedrich Bolz-Tereick <cfbolz at gmx.de>:

The error range for the "duplicate argument in function definition" SyntaxError is too large:

$ cat x.py 
def f(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, a): pass
$ python x.py
  File "/home/cfbolz/projects/cpython/x.py", line 1
    def f(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, a): pass
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: duplicate argument 'a' in function definition

I would expect only the second 'a' to be underlined.

I can try to fix this.
