Description
Python 3.10 added NameError and AttributeError suggestions in raised exceptions, in the form of:
>>> dim
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'dim' is not defined. Did you mean: 'dir'?
This is implemented in Python/suggestions.c
and unavailable in the pure Python implementation of traceback formatting in Lib/traceback.py
. This makes the output of both different, which is problematic for tooling using traceback.py
, as well as for alternative implementations of Python like PyPy and GraalPy.
Let's implement the equivalent of suggestions.c
in Lib/traceback.py
to bring both in line.
