[New-bugs-announce] [issue14169] compiler.compile fails on "if" statement in attached file

[Fabio Menegazzo]

New submission from Fabio Menegazzo <menegazzo at esss.com.br>:

compiler.compile fails on "if" statement in attached file.

When executing the code

    compiler.compile(contents, '<string>', 'exec')

passing the attached file contents, the following error is raised:

    ValueError: chr() arg not in range(256)

This won't fail when using the builtin "compile". Also removing the "if" statement or any line before it, the contents are compiled successfully.
