Error while importing facebook module in Python

I have installed facebook-sdk using below mentioned command:

pip install facebook-sdk

But while importing it, I am facing an issue:

import facebook
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\facebook.py", line 222
    except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How can I fix this?

Solution

  • That is an old syntax for catching exceptions. It should have been replaced with the keyword as since Python 2.6, and it is probably not supported at all on Python 3.

    Try to find another library that does support Python 3, or consider downgrading to Python 2.6 (which should really be a last-resort option).

    You can review all details on PEP 3110.
