Syntax Error #3

Closed joesse closed 4 years ago

joesse commented 5 years ago

When running feediverse the first time I get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/feediverse", line 6, in from feediverse import main File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/feediverse.py", line 63 return new_entries SyntaxError: 'return' with argument inside generator

What can do to fix this? Also: if I plan to run feediverse as a cron job, should I configure it as super user?

running on raspian 8.0 jessie

Which python version do you use?

Also: if I plan to run feediverse as a cron job, should I configure it as super user?

Running any program as super user is bad idea in almost all cases. This is neither a system service nor does it require extra privileges. So: no, you should not run it as super user!

I am running Python 2.7.9

htgoebel commented 5 years ago

Python 2.7 does not allow return in generators. Please use pthon3 to run feediverse.

I've updated the setup.py to indicate python3 is required. Thanks for the bug report!

PS. Don't run as root!!!
