Pystromo

syntax error in pystromo-remap.py

Asked by navitron3000

when I try to run the pystromo-remap.py script using:

cd /home/username/.config/pystromo
./pystromo-remap.py -m default.map

I get the following error:

 File "./pystromo-remap.py", line 173
    busyDevices = list (device for device in inputs if device.busy)
                                 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

any ideas? my n52 outputs it's defaults without any problems but I can't get the remapping script to run. I'm running a custom OS called Filmlight OS based on the 2.6 kernel but I think the script should still run.

What version of python are you running (`python --version`)?
That particular syntax was added in Python 2.4 (circa 2004!) AFAIK.

In fact, that particular line could (possibly should) be changed to the following, which should itself work in any Python from 2.0:
busyDevices = [device for device in inputs if device.busy]

Any other occurrences can probably be gotten around, for pre-2.4 Python, by putting square brackets ("[]") inside the normal parentheses ("()"). E.g.:
blah = blah ( [ blah for blah in blah if blah ] )

Can you help with this problem?
