Improved error messages
-----------------------
* The interpreter now provides helpful suggestions when it detects typos in Python
keywords. When a word that closely resembles a Python keyword is encountered,
the interpreter will suggest the correct keyword in the error message. This
feature helps programmers quickly identify and fix common typing mistakes. For
example:
.. code-block:: python
>>> whille True:
... pass
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1
whille True:
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'while'?
>>> asynch def fetch_data():
... pass
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1
asynch def fetch_data():
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'async'?
>>> async def foo():
... awaid fetch_data()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 2
awaid fetch_data()
^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'await'?
>>> raisee ValueError("Error")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1
raisee ValueError("Error")
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Did you mean 'raise'?
While the feature focuses on the most common cases, some variations of
misspellings may still result in regular syntax errors.

* When unpacking assignment fails due to incorrect number of variables, the
error message prints the received number of values in more cases than before.
