I just recentally discoverd freevo and installed it on my computer (running
SuSE linux) and i have been having problems with my local_conf.py file, when
i run freevo in terminal i keep getting syntax errors and I CANT FIX THEM,
it'sdriving me insace, I have spent, litterally, hours and hours trying to
figure what i am doing wronf, help me, please.
any help AT ALL would be appreciated.
here is an example error:
