Syntax errors cause "_b_ is not defined"

[Brendan Barnwell]

I've been experimenting with Brython, which looks very cool.  One thing I notice, though, is if I have an HTML page with some Brython in a script tag, and the code has a syntax error, I don't receive any helpful error message.  Instead, the console just shows "_b_ is not defined".  What is up with that?  Am I doing something wrong?  This makes it very difficult to debug small typos because there's no information about where the error is.

Thanks for the compliments :-)
There is a bug in version 3.2.8 that makes error messages unusable in this case. It was reported and fixed a few days ago in the current development version.
