$ purple-remote --help
File "/usr/bin/purple-remote", line 102
if protocol == "xmpp"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
$ python -V
Python 2.4.4
Changing line 102 to include the colon at the end seems to cause
purple-remote to execute correctly. Under the assumption that
/usr/bin/purple-remote is copied straight from
libpurple/purple-remote, a patch to the Pidgin tree is attached to
change that line.
