"return outside function" is a symptom of trying to compile the
PythonScript skin methods as though they were Python modules;  the
setup is (mistakenly) trying this because the skin methods are
sourced from files whose extension is ".py".

These files actually contain only the body (without the
'def functionname():') of the method, which is a consequence of
sharing the filesystem representation of PythonScripts.

We havea related tracker issue, asking that we not use that extension
for the skin method files:

The downside to changing the extension is that tools which use the
extension to do syntax highlighting won't be able to figure out that
the files are Python.
