We recently ran into that issue as well. It seems that the used finally: syntax is valid from python 2.5, and we were using python 2.4.

Loading a more recent version of python helped.

What version of python are you using?

Got this in the latest pull of galaxy central...

Ideas?

Hi Peter,

Excellent suggestion. I've replaced the outdated hard-coded minimum version check in set_metadata.py with a call to check_python() in changeset 8171:4b62ed46e5b6. As you note, there are likely other scripts that could benefit from a similar change; patches and pull requests are always welcome.

Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dan

Hi all,

It seem that performing the Python version check in the set_metadata.py script (and most of the other scripts) would give a much clearer failure in this situation (accidentally running under Python 2.4). This is what scripts/paster.py does:

# ensure supported version from check_python import check_python try: check_python() except: sys.exit(1)

Regards,

Peter
