Unfortunately my problem is the opposite one - trying to emulate what compile does for IronPython rather than just trying to make some code compile. So adding newlines doesn't help me.
But this case isn't really that important - it was just a wacky corner case I ran into while trying to get other behavior right. I think I can safely ignore this one especially if it's just a bug. > -----Original Message----- > From: gvanros...@gmail.com [mailto:gvanros...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of > Guido van Rossum > Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 7:20 PM > To: Dino Viehland > Cc: Robert Kern; python-dev@python.org > Subject: Re: [Python-Dev] Indentation oddness... > > I usually append some extra newlines before passing a string to > compile().
