[issue23035] python -c: Line causing exception not shown for exceptions other than SyntaxErrors

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

SyntaxError exceptions have a text attribute which contains the line where the error occurred. It's really a special case. For other exceptions, Python only knows that the error occurred in the file called "<string>".

Being able to display the line for any exception requires a complex development. I'm not interested to implement it, I don't think that it's very useful (compared to the time needed to develop it).
