It just occurred to me: how are you indenting?  If you're using tabs,
that would explain the problem (TBird might be helpfully converting
tabs to newlines); in any case, the usual Python convention is to use
four spaces for indentation (it's pretty easy to set your text editor
to convert tabs to spaces on-the-fly, too.)
If you're already using spaces, please disregard.
