pydoc SyntaxError - Random notes from mg

I once needed to know about SyntaxError's attributes. Here's what pydoc SyntaxError from Python 2.5 says:

 |  Data descriptors defined here:
 |  
 |  filename
 |      exception filename
 |  
 |  lineno
 |      exception lineno
 |  
 |  message
 |      exception message

So far so good

 |  
 |  msg
 |      exception msg

Hmm?

 |  
 |  offset
 |      exception offset
 |  
 |  print_file_and_line
 |      exception print_file_and_line

Doh!

 |  
 |  text
 |      exception text

My, that was useful. Maybe the online documentation will be better?

exception SyntaxError

...

Instances of this class have attributes filename, lineno, offset and text for easier access to the details. str() of the exception instance returns only the message.

Um. Well, at least now I know I can ignore both 'msg' and 'message'. I think. Still, it would be nice to warn that sometimes the exception text can be multi-line.
