This is regarding: 
Jython 2.2 RC1!
my system version is: 
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Jan 13 2006, 20:13:11)

The syntax error is because the program is using the 'yield' keyword to make a generator, which didn't appear until Python 2.3.  It's available in Jython 2.2 but only if you add 'from __future__ import generators' as the first line of the file.  Just pop that in there and the syntax error will go away.
