[New-bugs-announce] [issue2011] compiler.parse("1; ") adds unexpected extra Discard(Const(None)) to parse tree

[Andrew Dalke]

New submission from Andrew Dalke:

Python 2.6a0 (trunk:60565M, Feb  4 2008, 01:21:28) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from compiler import parse
>>> parse("1;")
Module(None, Stmt([Discard(Const(1)), Discard(Const(None))]))

I did not expect the Discard(Const(None)).  Instead, I expected

Module(None, Stmt([Discard(Const(1))]))
