| I'v been facing some very strange errors lately:
| one example:
|
| def __init__(self):
| ....
|        import my_info
|        some_text = my_info.T_SOME_TEXT
|                                      ^ syntax error
|
| I manage to get rid of that one by moving the import on top of my file.
| Note: Python 2.4.1 under Windows
| Any clue ?

Mixing tabs and spaces and not matching (s and 's are typical causes.
