Because you're running with the -x switch, the line number in the
traceback is off by 1, and it's not showing the correct line either.
This is fixed in the current development version of Python, but didn't
make it in time for the 1.5.2 release.  Go into your source file and
look at the lines *next* to the line it's showing you here.
