Python parser problem

   Hello.
     I would like to report a parser bug manifesting on Python 2.5, 2.7 (but not on 2.2) 
and 3.3.
     Please see the attached script.
     Basically this bug appeared after applying PythonTidy on a valid script.

     More exactly, when running:
	python -c "import iCam_GIT5_5"
       I get:
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
	  File "iCam_GIT5_5.py", line 60

	    ^
	SyntaxError: invalid syntax

     Actually, the error reported by Python is a bug, as far as I see: the line 60 
reported in the script does not actually contain the text reported in the error, and this 
makes quite difficult locating the so-called error.
     In fact the error is at script line 30: we should have all the code on one line, like 
this
	playlistToUse = youtubeClient.AddPlaylist(playlistTitle, playlistTitle, 
playlist_private=False).
     The "\" used in the script to break the line in 2 is a reminiscence of running 
PythonTidy-1.22.python (so fixing this bug would be directly relevant when using PythonTidy).

     With this occasion I would like to ask also what are the limits of the Python 2.x and 
3.x parser. Where can I find what are the limits on the size/lines of the parsed script?

   Best regards,
     Alex
