New submission from Xinmeng Xia <xi...@smail.nju.edu.cn>:

In build-in function compile() of mode 'single',  single statement can be well 
compiled. (see program 1 and program 2). However,  if we leave 4 blank spaces 
before the end of triple-quotation mark of "if expression",(see program 3), The 
parser will raise syntax error. This is not the expected output.  Spaces in the 
end of multi-line expression should not affect the compilation results. No 
error should be reported in this case.


program 1 (expected)
===============================
snippet ="""
a = 1
     """
compile(snippet, "", "single")
===============================

program 2 (expected)
===============================
snippet ="""
if True:
     a = 1
"""
compile(snippet, "", "single")
===============================

program 3 (unexpected)
===========================
snippet ="""
if True:
     a = 1
     """
compile(snippet, "", "single")
===========================
Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/home/xxm/Desktop/nameChanging/report/test1.py", line 1, in <module>
         compile(snippet, "", "single")
     File "", line 4
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Expected output: No error reported (like program1 and program2)
