Hello,
I am experiencing a problem with the compiler module. Is this a bug,
or am I doing something wrong?
so I have the following code:
from compiler import parse, parseFile
filename='blah.py'
if False: # turn this to false, to get it to work
ast = parse(open(filename).read()) # this line gives a syntax
error
else:
ast = parseFile(filename) # this line works
print ast
the documentation, here http://docs.python.org/lib/module-
compiler.html says that the two lines with parse and parseFile are
equivalent.
the file I am trying to parse is simply:
def main():
a=10
# comment at the end of the file
it seems like a comment at the end breaks the parse command, but not
parseFile. Is this reproducible by others?
am I doing something wrong?
thanks,
Brian Blais
