R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: This fails on 2.6 maint but works on trunk. There have been several improvements to the way that that compile works in trunk, and one of those fixed the problem that you are seeing. The source of the problem is the final line in the source file containing nothing but whitespace. I can't find the bug/revision that fixed this, but I suspect it depends on issue 7468, which Benjamin says is not a backport candidate.
Since the limitation on compile on 2.6 is documented (see issue 4262), this would be considered a runpy bug if someone was moved to fix it in 2.6. ---------- nosy: +benjamin.peterson, ncoghlan, r.david.murray priority: -> low stage: -> test needed title: Bug of command-line module launcher -> Bug in command-line module launcher type: compile error -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7813> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
