Syntax Error When Running paster?


No idea what happened, but all of a sudden, paster stopped working on my server (working with virtualenv and pyramid). Tried reinstalling everything but didn't work - same error again:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/paster", line 7, in ?

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What is happening to me?


Solution

  • You are using Python 2.4. It does not have the with statement. It only came in Python 2.5.

    Update your version of Python.
