Hello,
I'm reporting http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674796:

If the tested file contains null bytes, pyflakes fails with traceback:

$ pyflakes test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/pyflakes", line 5, in
sys.exit(main(sys.argv[1:]))
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/pyflakes/scripts/pyflakes.py", line 92, in main
warnings += checkPath(arg)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/pyflakes/scripts/pyflakes.py", line 74, in checkPath
return check(fd.read(), filename)
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/pyflakes/scripts/pyflakes.py", line 28, in check
tree = compile(codeString, filename, "exec", _ast.PyCF_ONLY_AST)
TypeError: compile() expected string without null bytes
<<<

Attached the test file.

Regards,
Sandro
