@Arenhart this modification looks good. While I don't know if the source line could be printed alongside the error, I would recommend trying to get this change merged. To do so, it would need some tests however to make sure that the error message does match what is intended.

I'm having a lot trouble trying to implement the tests. When I try to run the Numba tests, a get a llvmlite version error

ImportError: Numba requires at least version 0.43.0 of llvmlite.
Installed version is 0.42.0.

I did not find version 0.43 in conda, and when I tried to compile llvmlite 0.43, I failed because the windows distribution of LLVM doesn't have the llvm-config file.

Is there some solution besides compiling LLVM? Otherwise I think I'll wait until llvmlite 0.43 gets uploaded to conda.

During development, you can fetch the dev package for llvmlite using:

$ conda install -c numba/label/dev llvmlite

it should always get you an llvmlite that will allow the Numba checkout of main to compile. I also maintain a repo with some personal tooling for Numba including a makefile, if you need to look at the commands used to build and run tests and so on:
