... is 1 in Python 2.3 but None in Python 2.4b1.

lineno is 1 in Python 2.4 too when passing 'from module
import something' instead of 'from module import *'.

I would guess that this is the result of the relatively recent 
changes to allow multiple line imports, but I don't really have time 
to play with this right now.  Do you have time to work on a fix?

If it does prove to be the multiple line import thing, you might 
want to pester Dima Dorfman -- I think that was his patch...

I neither have time nor knowledge to fix it, but it seems
that the error was introduced in rev. 1.45 of
transformer.py.  The author of rev. 1.45 is jhylton,
applying patch #1015989. Assigned this bug to him.

Hmm, consider the attached.  It fixes the immediate issue,
and doesn't seem to break test_compiler.  I'd commit it, but
it's so obvious that I'm wondering why Jeremy didn't do this
in the first place: either I'm missing something a little
subtle, or Jeremy missed something really obvious :)

this doesn't seems to be related to the patch #101598 (i'm
the author of this patch). Using python 2.3, I get 1 as
lineno with or without the patch applied.

In fact, it does seem to be unrelated to the patch itself.

Instead, the missing lineno attribute is due to the
differences between rev. 1.44 with the patch applied and
rev. 1.45.  I.e., transformer.py was modified after applying
the patch but before checking it in.

Jeremy said in the issue that he'd changed things, so this
isn't a total surprise.  We're in b2 freeze now, so Jeremy
has until that is over to comment or I'll check this in :-)

This looks fine.

Fixed in revision 1.49 of Lib/compiler/transformer.py.

Thanks for the review.
