[Andre Roberge]

New submission from Andre Roberge <andre.roberge at gmail.com>:

When using Python 3.10.0b2 on a line with more than one invalid characters, the second one is identified as being incorrect, whereas in previous versions the first such character was identified.


> py -3.8 unicode_quote.py
  File "unicode_quote.py", line 2
    a = « hello » « world »
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid character in identifier


> py -3.9 unicode_quote.py
  File "C:\...\unicode_quote.py", line 2
    a = « hello » « world »
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid character '«' (U+00AB)


> py -3.10 unicode_quote.py
  File "C:\...\unicode_quote.py", line 2
    a = « hello » « world »
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid character '»' (U+00BB)
