I'm trying to get the pymysql module working with python3 on a Macintosh. Note that I am a beginning python user who decided to switch from ruby and am trying to build a simple (sigh) database project to drive my learning python.
In a simple (I thought) test program, I am getting a syntax error in confiparser.py (which is used by the pymysql module)
def __init__(self, defaults=None, dict_type=_default_dict,
allow_no_value=False, *, delimiters=('=', ':'),
comment_prefixes=('#', ';'), inline_comment_prefixes=None,
strict=True, empty_lines_in_values=True,
default_section=DEFAULTSECT,
interpolation=_UNSET):
According to Komodo, the error is on the second line. I assume it is related to the asterix but regardless, I don't know why there would be a problem like this with a standard Python module.
Anyone seen this before?
You're most certainly running the code with a 2.x interpreter. I wonder why it even tries to import 3.x libraries, perhaps the answer lies in your installation process - but that's a different question. Anyway, this (before any other imports)
import sys
print(sys.version)
should show which Python version is actually run, as Komodo Edit may be choosing the wrong executable for whatever reason. Alternatively, leave out the parens and it simply fails if run with Python 3.
