At this point I don't know what's going on since there's a communication
problem; Python's exception specification is based on the code you
entered, not the code it thought you meant, so you're having a
cutting-and-pasting problem at least on one side here.

If indentation is not to blame, it's possible that the problem is that
you're not running a version of Python that understands list
comprehensions.
