Thanks for clarifying this. The new log message is clear. I have only
minor tweaks to propose.

Suggest s/The/In general, the/, otherwise the reader would be left
wondering how the Python literal «'foo\bar'» could possibly generate
a SyntaxError, since «\b» specifically happens to be a valid escape
sequence.

Grammar: s/to overlook/overlooking/, s/decide/decided/.

s/bytes value/bytes values/. (Furthermore, note that the singular form
would have required an indefinite article: "a bytes value" rather than
*"bytes value".)

Please add an empty line above the "* …/main.py" line to make reading
easier.

+1 to commit^W propedit. And thanks!
