Content
A few years ago, there was a particular case in which compile failed without a trailing newline. We fixed it so that it would work anyway. Unless we are willing for a conforming Python interpreter to fail >>> exec('print("hello")') hello The Reference Manual should be clear that EOF and EOS (end-of-string) is treated as NEWLINE.
