Sorry - I forgot to include the OS details, this is under Mac OS X 10.6.8
(Intel 64bit CPU) using the Apple provided Python 2.6,

$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

If I explicitly call Python 2.5, the same error occurs:

$ python2.5 translate.py --run targetreallynopstandalone.py
