xxx.py:1:40: E901 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any one has any idea where is the syntax error?

Python==2.6, first line of the file is, no byte order marking :

from __future__ import absolute_import

Works fine in Python 2.7 and 3+ though.

If you add --show-source to the flake8 command it'll point out the error in the output.
