I'm not sure what is going on, but I started to get the error below. The full stack and tests are attached.

Environment: Python 3.2b2, Windows XPSP3, py.test 2.0

C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\py-1.4.0-py3.2.egg\py_code\source.py:142: in getstatementrange

  return start, end

E UnboundLocalError: local variable 'end' referenced before assignment

Hmm, the root of the problem is the inability to report the syntax error:

{{{
#!python

def new_method(cls, *args, *kwargs):
    new = dict.__new__(cls)
    dict.__init__(new, *args, *kwargs)
    raise ValueError( 'testtsts' )
    return new

}}}

=> missing * * on kwargs.

fix issue17 by requiring an update to pylib which helps to fix it

Actually to be clear: your example failed differently from yours but produced the same exception. i think i fixed at least one case and hope there is no other one. Your example is a bit confusing, to be honest because it contains code that is probably not neccessary. Can you try to install via e.g.

easy_install -i http://pypi.testrun.org -U pytest

and see if it actually fixes the problem for you? If not, please re-open and provide a more minimal example. Sidenote: it's better to not name your module exactly like a standard library one, in any case. Just use "mycollection" or so to disambiguate.
