What version of Python are you using? What's the exact error you're
getting? I'm unable to reproduce:

$ python3
Python 3.2.2 (default, Jan 13 2012, 00:07:49)
>>> c = """for (x,
...      y) in each([1,
...                  2]):
...     print(1)"""
>>>
>>> from ast import parse
>>> parse(c)
<_ast.Module object at 0x101f38350>
>>>

Cheers,
