[Rivet] Python, Rivet 1.20, CERN AFS, LXBATCH

Hi Terrance,

the old Python 2.3 on SL 4 is probably the culprit. It's missing some
language constructs modern Python version have.

Can you please try the attached patch. You can apply it like this:

cd /afs/cern.ch/user/t/terrance/rivet-1.2.0/local/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/
patch -p0 < PATH/TO/lighthisto.patch

Cheers,
    eike
