You have a pre-commit hook in place that ensures that you commit valid 
Python 2.5 code. To make your file 2.5-compliant you can either replace

with output:
  ...

with something else or add

from __future__ import with_statement

at the top of your file. 

Alternatively you can ask the person responsible for the svn installation to 
remove the hook or replace it with a check that accepts Python 2.6 or 
whatever version you are developing for.
