compile() source code from a string

I would like to use the compile() function to compile source code from
a string variable.
The commands I use is as follows:
code='for i in range(3): print i'
comp=compile(code,'','exec')
exec(comp)
This works well.
However I would like to execute the following example from string
variable:
if x == 1:
print "1"
print "2"
print "3"
elif x = 2:
print 'A'
print 'B'
print 'C'
print 1+2
How can I put this into a string variable that the compile() function
would accept? I tried putting chr(13)+chr(10) between each line but it
gives a syntax error. Also putting a \n or \r does not help either.
The only option that I see is to write it to a file and use
compile_file() but that would be time consuming.
Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
Thanks
Costas
