[Python-3000] problem with checking whitespace in svn pre-commit hook

> tokenize.TokenError: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (315, 0))

I analyzed that a bit further, and found that
Lib/distutils/unixccompiler.py:214 reads

if not isinstance(output_dir, (str, type(None)):

This is a syntax error; a closing parenthesis is missing.
tokenize.py chokes at the EOF as the parentheses aren't balanced.

I find that hard to believe - running reindent.py on the file
fails for me with Python 2.5 as well.
