[New-bugs-announce] [issue10204] exec string fails with trailing whitespace

[Eric Promislow]

New submission from Eric Promislow <ericp at activestate.com>:

The following code throws an exception in Python 3.1 (and 3.2 alpha),
but runs with 2.x:

>>> exec('if True:\n    print("Hello")\n    \n    ')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 4

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>

This is with Python 3.1.1.2, but I can repro it with a 3.2 alpha
as well.
