Solution 1:

This is true for G a locally compact, Hausdorff topological group, and X locally compact, Hausdorff, with a countable local basis. This "apocryphal lemma" appears many places, but is easily misplaced.

I reproduced the usual argument in an appendix in the "Solenoids" class notes on my modular forms course page, here .
