Wow, good catch.
I just re-downloaded the archive and it works fine.
I know for certain that I did no editing to the files, and even tried expanding
the original tar.gz a couple of times.
There must be a corrupted package somewhere among the official Python mirrors.
(Sadly, I overwrote the old tar.gz file when I got the new one.)
