It is a maze of twisty little passages that all look alike 
<wink>.  I think there is no need for 
PyParser_ParseStringFilename().  Replace each use of it 
with a call to the Flags version that passes 0 for flags.

We should redo the entire API to have simpler names 
and avoid all the flags & ex stuff in the names.  Then we 
could write a compat layer that provides all the old 
names and calls the new functions.  But you can make 
that a separate patch <wink>.

Uploaded patch. I had to create quite some new functions to 
pass the filename through all these calls. Maybe some 
functions could be replaced by macros?

To avoid any confusion: I (Thomas Heller) copied the 'Initial 
Comment' from a message posted to python-dev by Guido.
