Are you sure you are using Python 2.3 ? I believe you are using a mix of 2.2.x and 2.3 (e.g. the 2.2 binary with the 2.3 library, or the contrary) : "yield" IS a reserved in 2.3, and the "'yield' will become a reserved keyword in the future" warning usually occurs in 2.2 (but no longer in 2.3).

Maybe you should check the Python binary version number ("import sys; print sys.version"), and the library version you are using (try "import itertools" ; this module exists only in 2.3).

Hope this helps,
