a:mail.example.com,

The error message was not wrong (a trailing comma is not allowed in an FQDN), 
but could be clearer.  I've updated pyspf to provide a more specific error 
message for this case.  It will now return:

Do not separate mechnisms with commas: a:mail.example.com,

I disagree with this.  There is no end of bogus separators, including
non-ascii chars, that people use.  

I would go along with the more specific message:

Invalid TLD: "com,"

Showing the bogus separator inside the quotes should be plain enough,
and will work no matter what garbage they used.
