mypy error reporting should include column position #1216
Description
Currently it seems that only line number is included, and confusion will be introduced when there's multiple errors in the same line. Is there any plans to improve this?
typecheck_error.py: note: In function "f":
typecheck_error.py:2: error: Unsupported operand types for * ("str" and "complex")
typecheck_error.py:2: error: Incompatible return value type: expected builtins.int, got builtins.complex

It would be nice to have the column numbers as well. We are planning a parser rewrite and that might make this easy enough to implement.

Yeah, the parser rewrite should make this info easily available.

I apologize, we have been occupied with higher priority projects. Thanks for showing your interest though -- we'll be sure to bump the priority eventually. (We also accept PRs of course.)

happy to attempt a PR at some point, not super familiar with the code yet
thoughts:
for the parser, this would mean modifying both fastparse, fastparse2 and parse?
