Better error message for reserved words

Hi!

How difficult is it to change the parser that the following:

==guettli at sonne:~/tmp$ python ~/scripts/replace_recursive.py
  File "/home/guettli/scripts/replace_recursive.py", line 17
    in=open(temp)
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

will print "SyntaxError: invalid syntax. 'in' is an reserved word"?

I think this would make python more newbie-friendly.
