Are you sure about that?
>>> x = compile("print __import__('sys').version, 'see ma, no newline'",
"", "single")
>>> exec x

The original post isn't showing up for me, so I don't know the full
context, but it seems to me that compile can deal with the lack of
newline.
>>> x = compile("""import sys
... print sys.version
... print 'see ma, still no final newline!'""", "", "exec")
>>> exec x
2.5 (r25:51908, Nov 6 2007, 16:54:01)
[GCC 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)]
see ma, still no final newline!
