Skulpt limitations on SyntaxError?

I’m using exec to execute Python code the user typed in. As part of this, I’d like to display meaningful error messages when they have syntax errors in their code.

On a normal Python installation on my desktop, printing out the args attribute of the SyntaxError gives me something like:

I faced the same problems with my project as well. Skulpt is very limiting when it comes to this. But here is a work around.

Don’t ask me the logic but when you do something like:

except SyntaxError as e:
        self.label_1.text=e

It will display you the line of error

Now if you wish to extract this string, you will have to do this

import anvil.js

dom_node=anvil.js.get_dom_node(self.label_1)
error=dom_node.innerText
