no, dont do that. the domain config file is actually a python script,
and it will be executed by python interpreter. so "memory = 64M" is
not syntax-valid, and you will get an error like you saw.

there are some confuses: in domain config file, all memory unit is MB,
and you dont need to specify the memory unit. but if you config the
domain using xm interface (for example "xm maxmem DOM MEM" then you
have few choices when specifying MEM (ie you can use K/M/G suffix on
memory parameter)

so "memory = 64" is fine.
