Coverage.py fails when the last line on the source file does not end in a LF. This is a known exec() wart. Lines with just spaces in the last line do trigger this failure. Usually, people just a "LF" to be sure.

#!bash

(live_dectools)~/p/decorator_toolkit/dectools (master)$ coverage run test/test_all.py

I could have sworn I've dealt with this in the past, but it needed fixing, so fixed it got, in <<changeset c58e0c844834 (bb)>>.
