[SciPy-user] "import scipy" fails with Python-2.2a4

[H Jansen]

I've compiled the latest SciPy successfully. However, when importing the
module this is the result:

[44]jans2 at stbsl1:~%> python
Python 2.2a4 (#7, Oct  5 2001, 11:45:35) 
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on sunos5

line 176
    exec execstring
SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'colex' it
contains a nested function with free variables

Can someone please tell me what's wrong? Thanks.
