Michel, I can't reproduce this -- Python 2.5.1, Windows XP Pro SP2

Given that the syntax error seems to be pointing to a blank empty
line, I suspect that's there's some invisible character in the file.
This would be likely not to show up when we view your file through a
web browser or news client. I suggest that you show us *exactly* what
you've got:

print open('aaa.py', 'rb').read()

HTH,
