AFAICR Tiger has Python 2.3, which didn't support generator expressions.

The following should work:

print "  UTF-8         : %s" % " ".join([hex(ord(c))[2:].upper() for c 
in char.encode("utf-8")])

(i.e. replace the generator expression with a list comprehension by 
adding [] around the join argument.)

Hope that helps!
