Summary: Parser fails with TypeError

Initial Comment:
Attached is a module containing a rather large 
dictionary literal which refuses to parse. I've looked 
at it until I'll blurry eyed and cannot fine the 
error. Since it may be a bug in the parser I'm 
submitting it here. If you can import it, I'm stumped. 
I've used Python 2.2b1 and b2 on Windows.

It shouldn't be possible for the parser to raise a 
TypeError.  Are you claiming that this exact code worked 
under some version of Python prior to 2.2b1 (not arguing, I 
simply can't tell what your claim is)?  You can mail the 
file to me, if you like.
