Testsuite crash on python 2.4 due to syntax error

On another computer with nose 0.11-dev I got a slightly different behaviour on this bug. The second Failure on __del__ methods only occured when printing something in ipy_user_conf.py

Python 2.4 incompatibilty

Could someone on Python 2.4 try my bugfixes0411409 branch and make sure this is gone?

Thanks,

Brian

The second part of this one in test_magic still needs to be fixed.

The syntax error bug is fixed but the obj_del bug is still there.
There are test failures due to a missing module twisted.trial. I have
not installed twisted.

Attached is a log from my test.

The import error due to twisted being missing is just fine. We are
working on a better way of running the test suite that will skip the
twisted requiring tests when twisted is missing.

I don't know what is going on with the obj_del issue. The script is
returning an empty string on python 2.4 for some reason. I will
probably have the install 2.4 and look at this.
