[issue9221] 2to3 fails to parse a for construct

[Tiago Antao]

New submission from Tiago Antao <tiagoantao at gmail.com>:

2to3 crashes with a apparently simple for.
An example is presented (the first line is actually enough)

        >>> for clade in tree.find_clades(branch_length=True, order='level'):
        >>>     if (clade.branch_length < .5 and
        >>>         not clade.is_terminal() and
        >>>         clade is not self.root):
        >>>         tree.collapse(clade)

The stack is shown below. It almost seems a problem with newline conversion at the end?
