It looks like the syntax for "from __future__ import ..." changes in
Python 2.5. I was playing around with Cheetah, and it stumbled over a
file with the following structure:
# comments
""" docstring """
__author__ = "..."
__version__ = "..."
from __future__ import generators
Python 2.2 throug 2.4 accept this fine.
Perhaps the AST tree enforces stricter syntax for what can precede a
future statement? I think this should be fixed.
