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&groupid=5470&atid=105470

I believe Martin fixed this. With the latest from CVS:

[neal@epoch src]$ ./python foo.py File "foo.py", line 1 foo = ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
