Hi, I tried to install following the instruction, but couldn't... it seems to be a syntax problem... could you help?

@howtoslip thanks for reporting. Looks like Arch is using Python 3.4 as their default Python interpreter. Plex Scrobble will not work with Python 3 yet.

Do you have a Python 2 installation on that host? try python2 from a shell? I would also recommend against installing the script as root. Try to install within a Python 2 virturalenv as a non privileged user. The README should have some details on how to go about this.

Some details with regards to Arch specific and multiple python versions at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7297094/proper-way-to-manage-multiple-versions-of-python-on-archlinux .

hi @howtoslip, this should now be resolved under https://github.com/jesseward/plex-lastfm-scrobbler/pull/45
