This occured in SBCL 1.0.16 on Mac OS X too.

As a work-around there is now a fall-back to regular Lisp functions,
with the new setting *create-simple-lambdas-for-python-functions* that
is true for SBCL. You lose a little bit by not having first-class
Python functions, like their name and dict, but for most Python code
that doesn't matter.

Now the test suite to run almost fine: just 10 similar tests for
invalid syntax detection fail. SBCL signals a compiler error instead
of passing on the syntax error raised during the macroexpansion.
Should be fixable.
