[Python-Dev] SyntaxError tracebacks in 2.2

[Greg Ward]

Has anyone else noticed that SyntaxError tracebacks no longer include
the name of the file where the error occurs?  Instead, they just say
"<file>".  Eg.

  $ python2.1 foo.py
    File "foo.py", line 1
      foo =
          ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  $ python2.2 foo.py
    File "<string>", line 1
      foo =
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This is annoying enough that I just filed SF bug #516712:
  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=516712&group_id=5470&atid=105470
