This bug manifests differently depending on which Python version is used to run pythoscope.

On Python 2.3 and 2.4 pythoscope fails silently after emitting "INFO: Inspecting point of entry" message.

Under Python 2.5 it fails with a traceback:

INFO: Inspecting point of entry o.py.
<string>:1: DeprecationWarning: raising a string exception is deprecated
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
exception message

Under Python 2.6 string exceptions are no longer supported, which causes the following warning:

WARNING: Point of entry exited with error: TypeError('exceptions must be classes or instances, not str',)

Pythoscope doesn't fail and continues inspection in this case.
