I believe you're encountering this bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1184112

It's been fixed for 2.7 and 3.2.  Until then, you'll need to work
around it.  You can either append a newline to the end of any source
snippets that you are exec-ing, or if you're writing the code snippets
that are being exec-ed yourself, don't write them in such a way that
they trigger the bug.
