[issue16974] when "python -c command" does a traceback, it open the file "<string>"

[Eric Lammerts]

New submission from Eric Lammerts:

$ echo lovely spam > "<string>"

$ python -c 'open("nonexistent","r")'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    lovely spam
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'nonexistent'

I see this in python 2.7.3 and 3.2.3 from Ubuntu 12.04.
