Summary: SyntaxError in module reported poorly

Initial Comment:
When an imported module contains a syntax error, the
traceback doesn't properly show the line with the
error.  Example:

>>> import foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in ?
    import foo
SyntaxError: invalid syntax ('foo.py', 1, 3, '1/\n')
>>> 

The regular Python interpreter reports this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "foo.py", line 1
    1/
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> 

And IDLE 0.8 similarly:

>>> import foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in ?
    import foo
  File "/home/guido/trunk/Tools/idle/foo.py", line 1
    1/
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
