Well, given that the code normally works, my best guess is that the python
wrapper accidentally dropped a single-quote, a double-quote, truncated the
string in some way, or maybe corrupted a UTF-8 character.

There are some very rare and hard-to-debug cases involving cut-n-paste from
a web browser.  Some web browsers sometimes insert .. weird whitespace
UTF-8 characters, that (a) are invisible -- they're whitespace, and (b)
cause scheme/python/c++/word-processor to mis-behave and act badly.  Its
very hard to debug .. because .. its whitespace.  You can find them with
tools like hexdump, and search for any non-ascii characters.

Now, guile/python/c++/etc are "100%" UTF-8 safe, and work fine.  But the
weird whites-ace means that variable-names or other code might not be what
you think it is...
