When I paste that from your email into a file and run Python 2.7 on it, it

I should have said that I'm using Wing IDE Professional 4.0.3-1 (rev
24721), Windows Vista, and Python 3.2.1.
But the easiest explanation is that you perhaps used a funny character for
your triple-quotes. And when you retyped them on a new line, you typed
regular ones.
For example, I've seen that sort of thing when someone wrote code in a
Windows word processor that had "smart quotes."
No, no funny characters with Wing.
Thanks for your guess, Dave.
But here's a try using the regular command line:

Python 3.2.1 (default, Jul 10 2011, 20:02:51) [MSC v.1500 64 bit
(AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

OK, so it's no longer a guess, it's a certainty. You can't get that
error unless you have a non-ASCII character there. So take a look at
the file with a hex viewer, and look at offset 149. Somewhere there's a
character above hex 7f
