[New-bugs-announce] [issue7813] Bug of command-line module launcher

[Pascal Chambon]

New submission from Pascal Chambon <chambon.pascal at gmail.com>:

I have a weird behaviour of the interpreter on my python2.6 win32 install : if I launch as __main__ the file joined below, like "python test_rsFileLocking.py", all works fine.
But if I put it in my PYTHONPATH (or current working directory), and launch it via the "-m" option of python.exe, I get this unexplanatory traceback below.
How comes the syntax analyser is not the same in both cases ? I don't what what, in this file, could give syntax errors in the latter case...


C:\Users\Pakal\Desktop\release26-maint\PCbuild>python.exe -m rstest.test_rsFileLocking
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Pakal\Desktop\release26-maint\lib\runpy.py", line 104, in _run_module_as_main
    loader, code, fname = _get_module_details(mod_name)
  File "C:\Users\Pakal\Desktop\release26-maint\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _get_module_details
    code = loader.get_code(mod_name)
  File "C:\Users\Pakal\Desktop\release26-maint\lib\pkgutil.py", line 275, in get_code
    self.code = compile(source, self.filename, 'exec')
  File "C:\Users\Pakal\Desktop\RockSolidTools\rstest\test_rsFileLocking.py", line 391
