Summary: compiler module does not detect a syntax error

Initial Comment:
import compiler 
compiler.parse("def foo(a=1,b): pass") 
 
Gives: 
 
Module(None, Stmt([Function(None, 'foo', ['a', 'b'], 
[Const(1)], 0, None, Stmt([Pass()]))])) 
 
However, the python interpreter itself barks for the 
same code: 
 
SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default 
argument
