There's no maybe about it.  http://python.org/sf/1544277
There were also problems with the global statement and something with
keyword args.  Though, both of those may have been fixed.  Georg would
probably remember, I think he fixed at least one of them.

It's definitely broken unless someone fixed it when I wasn't looking.
:-)

I agree with Martin, a new maintainer would be nice.  I plan to look at
compiler2 when I get a chance.
