getversion.py invalid syntax
Hello all,
I get the following error with Python 2.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x:
T:\src\subversion-1.7.4>win-tests.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "T:\src\subversion-1.7.4\win-tests.py", line 109, in <module>
import gen_win
File "build\generator\gen_win.py", line 38, in <module>
import generator.swig.header_wrappers
File "build\generator\swig\__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
from generator.gen_base import _collect_paths
File "build\generator\gen_base.py", line 39, in <module>
import getversion
File "build\getversion.py", line 67
except IOError, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
T:\src\subversion-1.7.4>python --version
Python 2.7.2
T:\src\subversion-1.7.4>python --version
Python 3.1.4
T:\src\subversion-1.7.4>python --version
Python 3.2.2
Is this a known bug?
Thanks.

The syntax
except IOError, e:
is perfectly valid in Python 2.7. Are you sure you are getting that
particular error under 2.7?
You'd have to change it to this for Python 3.x:
except IOError as e:
But that would not be backwards compatible with 2.x. Using a tool like
2to3.py may help produce a version of the script that could run under
Python 3.x.
Best,
BN

Hi Daniel,
Don't know about 2.5 but 2.6 is still actively maintained so I can't argue with that. :) Guess it is just easier to install Python 2.6 than make the scripts backwards-compatible with newer Python versions.
Thanks.

No, it's not a known bug. We require 2.5 or newer, so we'll be happy to accept patches here as long as they don't break compat with those older versions.

(I'm assuming there are other except: statements affected by this)
