It points to the third line of the comment. Any ideas on how to
proceed with the debugging?

Have you tried getting rid of this comment? I doubt that
the comment is a reason of this error, but it seems that
it shadows the real problem. Moreover, try to import urlparse
itself and check if you got the pyc file for urlparse.py
in your */lib/python2.5/ directory.

It turns out that I had a script named urlparse.py in my path in
another directory. I'm still not sure why the traceback pointed to
the comment.
