QUERY · ISSUE
Unix: initialisation of multi-line dict can report wrong line number for syntax error.
The following:
a = {
'one' : 1,
'two' : 2,
'three' : 3,
'four', 4 # error
}
produces the following outcome:
MicroPython v1.8.7-893-g46b849a on 2017-06-22; linux version
Use Ctrl-D to exit, Ctrl-E for paste mode
>>> import rats35
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "rats35.py", line 2, in <module>
SyntaxError: expecting key:value for dict

CANDIDATE · ISSUE
unix: Command line executed python ("./micropython -c") cannot contain newlines
There's an issue in unix/main.c (see line 362). Newlines in the string after the '-c' flag seem to cause syntax errors (At least in Debian 7.1 and bash 4.2.37).
$ ./micropython -c 'print("Hello World")
print("Hey")'
File "<stdin>", line 2, column 1
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I might find time to fix it this weekend.
