Firstly -- never used the library, hadn't even heard of it -- disclaimer over :) Err, python 2.6 doesn't have print as a function by default. Have you done a from __future__ import ? def _GetInitScriptFileName(self, argsSource = None): if argsSource is None: argsSource = self name = argsSource.initScript if name is None: if argsSource.copyDependentFiles: name = "Console" (****) else: name = "ConsoleKeepPath" if sys.version_info[0] >= 3: name += "3" argsSource.initScript = self._GetFileName("initscripts", name) if argsSource.initScript is None: raise ConfigError("no initscript named %s", name) Should be sufficient clues(****), Cheers, Jon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
