Why does sphinx conf.py gives me an error for trying to import sys

I am trying to create a simple documentation with sphinx and autodoc, but the autodoc could not improt my modules. Figure that is because i did not add the path to the modules into sys path in conf.py

So i went and add this at the start of conf.py:

 import sys
 import os
 sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath('.'))

and now i am getting the following error on the line with import sys and i have no idea why,since i have the same code as in sphinxs example.

Configuration error:
There is a syntax error in your configuration file: bad input (conf.py, line 20)
Did you change the syntax from 2.x to 3.x?

line 20 is the line with import sys, before it are only autogenerated comments

In conf.py, after removing spaces before import statements it's working as expected

Autogenerated commented code had one space between the code and the comment symbol # which i did not notice.
