I have no idea about the Light Table part, but the error you are showing is the one you get if you try to execute a Python 3 function call printin Python 2 (where printit is an operator with fancy syntax, not a function). Lines 175-176 of site.pythe Python 3.4 distribution look like this: (modulo leading indentation):

print("Error processing line {:d} of {}:\n".format(n+1, fullname),
      file=sys.stderr)

, , Python 2, SyntaxError, =:
