>>> compile('def foo(', '', 'exec')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "", line 1
    def foo(
          ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

vs

>>> compile('from __future__ import print_function\ndef foo(', '', 'exec')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "", line 2
    def foo(
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

>>> compile("\ndef foo(", '', 'exec')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "", line 2
    def foo(
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
