Correct.

Martijn Faassen saw this earlier, and I commented on it in the
grok-dev list:

http://www.nabble.com/grokproject-buildout-problems-td19291140.html

The SyntaxError only happens with python 2.4.  And that part of the
code is only executed when you run it with python 2.5.  So I do not
think anything can be done about that.

The warning is from an error in MANIFEST.in.  Same for another line
you may have spotted:

  no previously-included directories found matching 'docs-in-progress'

I just contacted the author about that.
