ABBABABAwindows.py error

[rturba]

Hello!

I'm trying to run the ABBABABAwindows.py script using python3. I was able to run popgenWindows.py on my files with no problems, but now even trying to get the manual from the ABBABABAwindows.py using the -h command, I get the following error:

python ABBABABAwindows.py -h
File "/u/scratch/r/rturba/stickleback/genomics_general-master/ABBABABAwindows.py", line 85
    def writer(writeQueue, out, writeFailedWindows=False, verbose):
                                                                                                        ^
SyntaxError: non-default argument follows default argument

Any ideas what might be going on? :(

hello, rturba. I also meet the same erro and I solve it in following commands, vim /u/scratch/r/rturba/stickleback/genomics_general-master/ABBABABAwindows.py +85 then u should access edit mode of vim and change "def writer(writeQueue, out, writeFailedWindows=False, verbose)" to "def writer(writeQueue, out, verbose, writeFailedWindows=False)"

Hi rturba, this looks like an error I introduced on the last push. ChanyeeNicole's fix will remove the error, but it's actually not correct because the arguments can't be swapped. Instead use writer(writeQueue, out, writeFailedWindows=False, verbose=False) I'll fix this on my next push. Simon
