In more detail: Python 1.5.x didn't have the "augmented assignment"
operators, such as the += operator which is causing this error.  They
were introduced in Python 2.0 on 2000-10-16.

P4DTI 2.1 supported Python 1.5.2 but the release notes for all the
2.1.x releases stated "Support for Python 1.5.2 is deprecated, and may
be dropped in a future version of the P4DTI."  P4DTI 2.2 did indeed
drop support for Python 1.5.2, and the release notes specify "Python
2.0, or later".  You are running a P4DTI 2.2.x release.

Note that when upgrading your Python to 2.x, you will also need to
upgrade your MySQL-python module, and your Python Windows extensions
if running on Microsoft Windows.
