What version of Python are you running? This appears to be a syntax
error from an older version:

$ python2.7
Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53)
[GCC 4.5.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> class Test():
...

$ python2.4
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Nov 11 2010, 13:30:19)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> class Test():
File "<stdin>", line 1
class Test():
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

If you're using 2.4 it's well worth upgrading to 2.6 or 2.7. Hope
this helps,
Brad
