Consider:
Python 2.3a0 (#29, Jun 5 2002, 13:09:10) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> compile("1+*3", "myfile.py", "exec")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<string>", line 1
1+*3
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
Shouldn't it print "myfile.py" instead of "<string>"?
