Dear Casperites,
I recently started the Introduction to Simulink Roach2 - Casper tutorial and am
having difficulty importing the required “casperfpga" repository from GitHub.
After cloning the repo (git clone git://github.com/ska-sa/casperfpga
<https://github.com/ska-sa/casperfpga>), and while running the standard “sudo
python setup.py install” command, I reach the “byte-compiling” printout
statement of file register.pyc and then receive a syntax error:
byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/casperfpga/register.py to
register.pyc
SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax',
('/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/casperfpga/register.py', 106, 38, '
new_values = {_field: None for _field in self.field_names()}\n’))
The rest of the install then continues. If I then open python and type “import
casperfpga”, this syntax error once again appears. Here is the full print-out
(which also includes the version of python and Red Hat Linux that I’m using):
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, May 22 2015, 08:34:51)
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-15)] on linux2
>>> import casperfpga
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/casperfpga/__init__.py", line 7, in
<module>
from dcp_fpga import DcpFpga

import register
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/casperfpga/register.py", line 106
new_values = {_field: None for _field in self.field_names()}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Now, I doubt there actually is a syntax error because the GitHub repo doesn’t
have any posted issues, so I then assume this is an issue with my own
environment. Do any of you either have suggestions on how I should change my
environment to properly recognize the casperfpga register.py file, or have
specific recommendations on how to edit the register.py file?
Best Regards,
Alec
