Looks as if your class contains some feature no longer supported
by Python.

I would attack this problem as follows:

  *  identify the problematic feature (by extracting the string
     above which exhibits the SyntaxError

  *  find a new way how to spell this

  *  fix the storage file by means of a text editor
     (be careful!: operate on a copy; ensure that the total size
     does not change.
