[issue2816] Quote-type recognition bug

[Chester]

New submission from Chester <wxpythoner at gmail.com>:

Let's make an intentional syntax error...

>>> print "Testing\"
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string


Please focus on the part of the error message that states "while
scanning single-quoted string". How can Python claim it scanned a
single-quoted string when I fed it with a double-quoted string? That is
a quote type recognition bug in Python which should be fixed.

The error message in this case should, however, be:

SyntaxError: EOL while scanning double-quoted string
