Message 299906 - Python tracker

Hi Eric,

running the script from the terminal on my system (macOS, Python 3.6.2) gives the same ErrorMessage as you stated.

The problem is the output "line 1".

Running the script from IDLE (3.6.2), the error points to the first line. And in IDLE you do not get the useful hint "(a>2s)" but just "SyntaxError: invalid syntax".
