errors in metapython tutorial following easy_install; python 2.6.2

I include the following code to reproduce the problem:
(first, put the code for "simple metapython file" from the tutorial
into a file named smp.mpy, run

I'm looking into the problem I mentioned above. It seems like I can
make it happen without metapython so it might be some problem with my
installation of python 2.6.2.

Actually, it's a bug in python: Issue9974
