[Python-Dev] confusing exec error message in 3.0 (original) (raw)

(using 3.0a4)

exec(open("file.py")) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: exec() arg 1 must be a string, file, or code object, not TextIOWrapper

so what's "file" referring to here?

(the above works under 2.5, of course)
