[New-bugs-announce] [issue38731] bad input crashes py_compile library

[Kaoru Esashika]

New submission from Kaoru Esashika <kaoru.esashika at gmail.com>:

How to reproduction:
Step 1: make bad source code
Step 2: run "python -m py_compile bad_source_code.py"
Step 3: errors printed

It seems that this problem is introduced at issue 22640 (commit https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/2e33ecd7c9b0cac3efc6fcbdd4547fd086b4e2d1)
and it have not fixed yet.

variable 'quiet' is not defined in main function as far as I can see.

```
