Seems the Python interpreter got royally confused here (apport itself merely does an import of some Python standard libs, nothing I could fix there). Scott, did you ever get this again? If not, are you ok with blaming sun rays and just ignore this?

I never got it again. I get the impression from doko's comment he had an idea what the issue was. Up to you how you want to deal with it.

Apport no longer uses tokenize, so I think this is fine.
