66Compile and run some source in the interpreter.
67Arguments are the same as for <tt class="function">compile_command()</tt>; the
68default for <var>filename</var> is <code>'&lt;input&gt;'</code>, and for
69<var>symbol</var> is <code>'single'</code>. One several things can happen:
70
71<P>
72
73<UL>
74<LI>The input is incorrect; <tt class="function">compile_command()</tt> raised an
75exception (<tt class="exception">SyntaxError</tt> or <tt class="exception">OverflowError</tt>). A
76syntax traceback will be printed by calling the
77<tt class="method">showsyntaxerror()</tt> method. <tt class="method">runsource()</tt> returns
78<code>False</code>.
79
80<P>
81</LI>
82<LI>The input is incomplete, and more input is required;
83<tt class="function">compile_command()</tt> returned <code>None</code>.
84<tt class="method">runsource()</tt> returns <code>True</code>.
85
86<P>
87</LI>
88<LI>The input is complete; <tt class="function">compile_command()</tt> returned a code
89object. The code is executed by calling the <tt class="method">runcode()</tt> (which
90also handles run-time exceptions, except for <tt class="exception">SystemExit</tt>).
91<tt class="method">runsource()</tt> returns <code>False</code>.
92</LI>
93</UL>
94
95<P>
96The return value can be used to decide whether to use
97<code>sys.ps1</code> or <code>sys.ps2</code> to prompt the next line.

104<dd>
105Execute a code object.
106When an exception occurs, <tt class="method">showtraceback()</tt> is called to
107display a traceback. All exceptions are caught except
108<tt class="exception">SystemExit</tt>, which is allowed to propagate.
109
110<P>
111A note about <tt class="exception">KeyboardInterrupt</tt>: this exception may occur
112elsewhere in this code, and may not always be caught. The caller
113should be prepared to deal with it.

120<dd>
121Display the syntax error that just occurred. This does not display
122a stack trace because there isn't one for syntax errors.
123If <var>filename</var> is given, it is stuffed into the exception instead
124of the default filename provided by Python's parser, because it
125always uses <code>'&lt;string&gt;'</code> when reading from a string.
126The output is written by the <tt class="method">write()</tt> method.

133<dd>
134Display the exception that just occurred. We remove the first stack
135item because it is within the interpreter object implementation.
136The output is written by the <tt class="method">write()</tt> method.

143<dd>
144Write a string to the standard error stream (<code>sys.stderr</code>).
145Derived classes should override this to provide the appropriate output
146handling as needed.
