I don't know if this can be the case, but since difflib is the last 
import on the line, can it be that there is some spurious character at 
the end?

Try opening it with vi with a -b option, and check it. Or open it 
without the -b option, and watch if on the last line there is a [dos] label.

Also, try to rewrite the line from scratch.
