Yes, but the standard "compiler" package (used by py2app) is somewhat  
guilty too. The parseFile function is called with a file name, but such  
info is lost and the filename isn't used in the error messages. Compare  
with the builtin "compile" function, which *does* use the supplied file  
name to report meaningful errors.
