I just checked and it seems to come from Pylons which is not available in Ubuntu as a package (I installed it through easy_install).
Whether this is an Ubuntu bug I depends on whether it is safe to assume that everything in site-packages that ends in .py is compilable. Otherwise I guess its Pylons fault. -- "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" error on syntax_error.py https://launchpad.net/bugs/81857 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
