It's a bug, and the bug is fixed (indirectly) in py3k trunk via improvements to the 'compile' function. That fix can't be backported because it is a behavior change. On the other hand, it appears as though the fix is to change the open statement from using 'rb' to using 'r'. I'm not at all sure why it is opened in 'rb' mode, and it's possible it should be changed in trunk as well.
