Syntax error in db/generic.py with Python 2.4

[Gert Kremer <gkremer+south@…>]

When using South 0.7.4 with Python 2.4, the initial syncdb fails with a SyntaxError? in db/generic.py:

./manage.py syncdb

Traceback (most recent call last):

finally:

SyntaxError?: invalid syntax

The try/except/finally construct used here does not work with Python 2.4
