For me, the exact problem seems to be that exec raises a SyntaxError if the
code contains a trailing indentation. Here's a summary of everything I've
tried:
* test.py runs successfully on 2.6 and 3.1, regardless of line ending style
(LF, CR+LF)
* "execfile('test.py')" runs successfully on 2.6, regardless of line ending
style
* "exec(compile(open('test.py').read(), 'test.py', 'exec'))" raises a
SyntaxError on line 3 of test.py under 2.6 and 3.1, regardless of line
ending style.
* Removing the trailing indentation from test.py causes the above code to
succeed under 2.6 and 3.1, regardless of line ending style.
You mentioned that it worked for you with an empty newline. To be clear, the
last line of test.py contains a single tab, with no newline character.
