If i type python in a terminal, it says that it uses the version 2.6.7. And it succeed in creating a class Test(). is it possible that my galaxy distribution is using an older version? is there a way to check what python version does galaxy use? thanks colin 2011/8/14 Brad Chapman <chapmanb@50mail.com>
Colin;
Second -and still unsolved- problem: When i try to run a picard tool, I get the following exception:
File "/home/hg/Galaxy/galaxy-dist/tools/picard/picard_wrapper.py", line 40 class PicardBase(): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
What version of Python are you running? This appears to be a syntax error from an older version:
$ python2.7 Python 2.7.1+ (r271:86832, Apr 11 2011, 18:13:53) [GCC 4.5.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
class Test(): ...
$ python2.4 Python 2.4.3 (#1, Nov 11 2010, 13:30:19) [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
class Test(): File "<stdin>", line 1 class Test(): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
If you're using 2.4 it's well worth upgrading to 2.6 or 2.7. Hope this helps, Brad
