Summary: SyntaxError raised on win32 for correct files

Initial Comment:
Try to import the attached file (dt.py) on Windows with
Python 2.4 or 2.4.1 and you'll get a SyntaxError (the
file was written a long time ago, and worked perfectly
well on Python 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.) The same does not
happen when importing the same module on Linux (tested
with 2.4 and 2.4.1). When the module imports fine
you'll get an ImportError (don't want to attach all
dependencies here) but the SyntaxError comes before that.

Also note that compiling the file with
compiler.compileFile("dt.py") generates a perfectly
good .pyc file that can be later imported just fine
(tested with 2.4 and 2.4.1 on Windows).

I'm fairly sure this is caused by the bug described here:
  
   www.python.org/sf/1175396

The module imports without syntax error on my Windows system
(with a patched codecs.py to work around the above bug).
