.. note::
- When compiling a string with multi-line statements, line endings must be
- represented by a single newline character (``'\n'``), and the input must
- be terminated by at least one newline character. If line endings are
- represented by ``'\r\n'``, use :meth:`str.replace` to change them into
- ``'\n'``.
+ When compiling a string with multi-line statements in ``'single'`` or
+ ``'eval'`` mode, input must be terminated by at least one newline
+ character. This is to facilitate detection of incomplete and complete
+ statements in the :mod:`code` module.

+ .. versionchanged:: 3.2
+ Allowed use of Windows and Mac newlines. Also input in ``'exec'`` mode
+ does not have to end in a newline anymore.
