I don't get this error. 

But I'll try to guess -- the native Python version installed on your 
machine is 2.3, which does not support generator expressions, which 
causes a syntax error. I believe you set PYTHONPATH manually, so Python 
2.3 programs will try to look modules in your local/ 2.5 site-packages. 

autosummary_generate.py above probably runs under Python 2.3 -- you 
should be able to fix this by changing "python" to "python2.5" on the 
first line of autosummary_generate.py, or editing the makefile so that 
python2.5 is explicitly used.
