If the assignment on these three following lines have leading white space 
then you have a syntax error. mm_cfg.py is Python source code and 
indentation (leading white space) is syntactically significant in Python, 
unlike Perl, C, C++ and many other languages.

Remove leading white space will probably fix the problem.

Incidentally, as you are redefining the default hosts you probably want to 
precede the call to add_virtualhost with the following statement:

VIRTUAL_HOSTS.clear()

This will clear out the old values from assignment and add_virtualhost 
calls in Defaults.py
