+"""This module tests SyntaxErrors.
+
+Here's an example of the sort of thing that is tested.
+
+>>> def f(x):
+... global x
+Traceback (most recent call last):
+SyntaxError: name 'x' is local and global
+
+The tests are all raise SyntaxErrors. They were created by checking
+each C call that raises SyntaxError. There are several modules that
+raise these exceptions-- ast.c, compile.c, future.c, pythonrun.c, and
+symtable.c.
+
+The parser itself outlaws a lot of invalid syntax. None of these
+errors are tested here at the moment. We should add some tests; since
+there are infinitely many programs with invalid syntax, we would need
+to be judicious in selecting some.
+
+The compiler generates a synthetic module name for code executed by
+doctest. Since all the code comes from the same module, a suffix like
+[1] is appended to the module name, As a consequence, changing the
+order of tests in this module means renumbering all the errors after
+it. (Maybe we should enable the ellipsis option for these tests.)
+
+In ast.c, syntax errors are raised by calling ast_error().

+It's a syntax error to assign to the empty tuple. Why isn't it an
+error to assign to the empty list? It will always raise some error at
+runtime.
