This is almost certainly because of the whitespace changes in python 
functions. If you use master of OE-Core, you must use BitBake 1.15.3+; if you 
use denzil, you need to use 1.15.2. I'm a bit confused as to how you could 
have still got this error with 1.15.2 though since that change was not in that 
version (unless you are using master of OE-Core with BitBake 1.15.2).

Cheers,
Paul
