[Python-Dev] SyntaxError tracebacks in 2.2 (original) (raw)

Has anyone else noticed that SyntaxError tracebacks no longer include the name of the file where the error occurs? Instead, they just say "". Eg.

$ python2.1 foo.py File "foo.py", line 1 foo = ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax $ python2.2 foo.py File "", line 1 foo = ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This is annoying enough that I just filed SF bug #516712: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=516712&group_id=5470&atid=105470
