Syntax Error

[E_user]

Hi,

when I tryed to install some soft by python install.py, I had that problem:

File "install.py", line 5
print "Raspbmc installer for Linux and Mac OS X"
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How can I fix it?

Thank you...

That looks like it's a python 2.x script (no parentheses after print).
Did you run it with Python 2 or 3?
Try

Code: Select all

python2.7 install.py

(assuming it is 2.7 that you have ...)

Try

Code: Select all

python2.7 install.py

Thank you. It was helpfull.

Running into this syntax error issue left and right. (line 6, line 7, line 10, etc) Using python 3.3 on an Arch Linux host install. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to change in the install script to get through this process?

Install Python 2.x ...or take a look at the '2to3' tool: "Python 2.6 and 3.0 include a tool called 2to3 that parses Python 2.x code and rewrites it to work in Python 3.0" http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python3000/FAQ
