Eric Lammerts added the comment:

Does it have to be an identifier in angle brackets? An empty string makes more 
sense to me.

[issue16974] when "python -c command" does a traceback, it open the file ""

2013-01-15 Thread Eric Lammerts 

New submission from Eric Lammerts:

$ echo lovely spam > ""

$ python -c 'open("nonexistent","r")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
lovely spam
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'nonexistent'

I see this in python 2.7.3 and 3.2.3 from Ubuntu 12.04.
