mg5_aMC executable shows error

Asked by SUBHASISH BEHERA

Dear Olivier,

I am getting an unusual issue while running ./bin/mg5_aMC command.
System configurations :
macOS, Catalina, version: 10.15.2 (19C57)
Python 3.7.6
MG5_aMC_v2_6_6

gcc --version
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin19.2.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

The followings are the errors :

  File "./bin/mg5_aMC", line 187
    print 'writting history and quit on KeyboardInterrupt'
                                                         ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('writting history and quit on KeyboardInterrupt')?

Please have a look. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We do not support Python3 yet.
Please try with Python2

Cheers,

Olivier

Dear Olevier,

My apology for the spam.
I have set the python@2 as the default one and it works now.
But what if we want to use python-3.X ?

Thanks,
Subhasish
