Message 160688 - Python tracker

Would you mind adding more information like the full traceback? By saying "compilation error", I presume you mean the compilation of the t33a.py file into byte code (and not compilation of Python itself)?

I can't reproduce it neither with the vanilla 3.2.3 on OS X nor with Ubuntu's 3.2.

My only suspicion is that the platform default encoding has bitten you, does it also crash if you add "# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-" as the first line?
