You probably mis-set your PYTHONPATH variable. You are using a Python older
than 2.0 with the library tree for Python 2.0. (The statement Python is
complaining about is a ``list comprehension'', which was added in Python
2.0) My first guess would be to try running /usr/local/bin/python, but
looking at the above pathname, your python is pretty screwed up. If it still
doesn't work, try re-installing Python (and grabbing Python 2.1 while you're
at it ;)
