It's correct; source lines must be separated by '\n' only (NOT '\r\n' as in a Windows text file) and the last line must end in '\n'. It's documented, but under the compile() built-in function: http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html; perhaps the docs for exec should refer there. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
