[GRASS-dev] WIKI Python script example won't run

[Michael Barton]

I wanted to see how it would be to port one of the bash scripts to  
Python. I followed the WIKI template and it didn't run. So I made a  
script that is ONLY from the WIKI template and it doesn't run either.  
I've tried it by just typing the script into the command prompt and  
also by typing:

python $GISBASE/scripts/pytest.py

The error is the same every time and is rather strange:

Line too long or missing newline at line 75

Line 75 is the last line (blank) of the script. If I get rid of this  
line, I still get the error, but on line 74.

I'll paste in the WIKI script below so you won't have to look it up.  
It seems OK and the error is kind of enigmatic. I've tried various  
permutations and get the same results.
