SyntaxError: invalid syntax @ line 96

[zagid]

When I run garmin.py I get the following message:

File "garmin.py", line 96 print "Searching..." ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Do you have the entire printout or the log from that?

I've noticed that simply running "garmin.py" with the wrong privileges can give quite strange errors, not related at all.

This is the entire output I get on the terminal. I hope I am answering the question, still new to Linux, if there is a way how to get more info pls let me know.

[christofferholmstedt]

Which distribution are you using? Ubuntu?

[zagid]

ArchLinux with Gnome, last update today

Are you using python3? Without any context that looks like an error related to the new print() syntax.

I think so: "pacman -Q python" gives "python 3.3.1-1" Is the code made for python3 or do I have to make any changes? I am only vaguely aware of the changes between version of python.

[Tigge]

It's made for python 2.7, not sure how much effort it would be to make it run on python 3. I think most distributions still uses python 2, but have packages so both python 2 and 3 can be installed at the same time.

You could try running the code through http://docs.python.org/2/library/2to3.html. I don't know if that alone would make it work though.

[zagid]

I ran it through 2to3 and some progress achieved. Now, upon "python garmin.py" I get this:

[zagid]

Between "in" and "ignored" in the last line there should also be this:

bound method _Initializer.del of <usb.backend.libusb1._Initializer object at 0x7f61f856de10

That is quite fat actually. No idea what is causing this though. I think I'd recommend using the python2 package instead.

[zagid]

Degraded to python2 and all is working fine, so issue closed.
Just a small note, the .fit files went to /root/.config/garmin-extractor/ so it took me a while to find & copy them.

Thanks for the software and for the support, this sort of thing is that made me switch to linux.

[Tigge]

Yeah, I've tried to specify this in the README file but I guess reporting it through the command line tool would be quite good as well. I'll look into it.
