Error while running conversation.py

[pynchmeister]

Hello.

I am attempting to chat with the pre-trained model. I have downloaded the files from the dropbox, then I go to the directory for this cloned git and then I run conversation.py

I continue to get this error:

File "/Users/harrislevine/Downloads/Seq2seq-Chatbot-for-Keras-master-2/conversation.py", line 96 if raw_word[-1] <> '!' and raw_word[-1] <> '?' and raw_word[-1] <> '.' and raw_word[-2:] <> '! ' and raw_word[-2:] <> '? ' and raw_word[-2:] <> '. ': ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Harriss-MacBook-Pro:~ harrislevine$ cd /Users/harrislevine/Downloads/Seq2seq-Chatbot-for-Keras-master-2 Harriss-MacBook-Pro:Seq2seq-Chatbot-for-Keras-master-2 harrislevine$ python /Users/harrislevine/Downloads/Seq2seq-Chatbot-for-Keras-master-2/conversation.py File "/Users/harrislevine/Downloads/Seq2seq-Chatbot-for-Keras-master-2/conversation.py", line 96 if raw_word[-1] <> '!' and raw_word[-1] <> '?' and raw_word[-1] <> '.' and raw_word[-2:] <> '! ' and raw_word[-2:] <> '? ' and raw_word[-2:] <> '. ': ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Harriss-MacBook-Pro:Seq2seq-Chatbot-for-Keras-master-2 harrislevine$

If anyone can point out where I am going wrong it would be much appreciated...

You are probably using Python 3 and this project uses Python 2. The comparison operator <> has been removed from Python 3, you should replace it by != along this code.

Thank you very much!

Although I exceedingly appreciate the previous message's guidance, I have ran into another issue after invoking python2:

Using TensorFlow backend. Starting the model...

Any ideas?

In the meantime I'll give Theano a whirl...

The backend is Theano.
