SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Answer 1

you have to create dict using

dict((gb['groupby'], gb) for gb in annotated_groupbys)

Answer 2

Dict comprehensions were added to the language in version 2.7.

So you need to upgrade to Python 2.7. If you're stuck with 2.6, you could use

groupby_dict = dict((gb['groupby'], gb) for gb in annotated_groupbys)
