The 'single' mode, which is used for the REPL, is a bit different than 'exec', which is used for modules. This difference lets you insert "blank" lines of whitespace into a function definition without exiting the definition.
All that means is that the REPL needs to keep reading lines until it gets a completely blank one. I don't see why the compiler has to treat the source any differently once the REPL has decided how much text to feed it. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
