I don't know where that file comes from; it's not the official
grammar.  Fred will fix the typos you found.

This one is correct (we use it to generate our parser):

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/python/python/dist/src/Grammar/Grammar?rev=1.48&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Or download Python and look at Grammar/Grammar .
