Issue1713

In attached Java program the goal is evaluate multiline Jython string (containing code) and receive value of this evaluation. For some reason .eval(code) return "None" instead 125. For me it looks like PythonInterpreter evaluate can't handle evaluation of multiline string. This will be nice feature in API - jRuby have ability to evaluate multiline string code with getting result and this i very nice feature.
For now workaround is split lines of code, exec() all except last line of code and pass this last line to eval() - this looks very ugly and complicate code a lot.

Hi Jan, thanks for the bug report.

In Python/Jython, eval doesn't work like this. For example:

>>> eval("""x = 2
...         x+2""")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1
    x = 2
      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Since you have a workaround, and this really can't be fixed, I'm closing.
