Hello Andres,

Per different searches I can see that you respond to peoples queries about W3AF 
but I'm sure its still pretty distracting so hopefully I won't take a lot of 
your time.  I've downloaded the latest [non-dev] w3af 1.1 from here: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/w3af/files/w3af/w3af%201.1/

The user 
guide<http://w3af.sourceforge.net/documentation/user/w3afUsersGuide.pdf> 
dictates to run setup from within several directories.  After extracting the 
tar ball it looks like v.1.1 is missing the following:

w3af/extlib/pygoogle
w3af/extlib/nltk

Here is a complete list of the directories that I have in the extracted /w3af/ 
directory:

The actual problem that I'm having is that when I try to run the console I get 
the following error:

[root@w3af w3af]# ./w3af_console
  File "./w3af_console", line 108
    rev = 0 if (a == 'HEAD') else -1
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm running:

[root@w3af w3af]# cat /etc/*release
Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Carthage)
Oracle Linux Server release 5.8
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

[root@w3af w3af]# yum list python
Loaded plugins: priorities, security
3 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Installed Packages
python.x86_64                                                                   
        2.4.3-46.el5_8.2


Although the guide said that Python 2.5 is the prerequisite, according to this 
thread<http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.w3af.user/1149> you said 
that the minimum version of Python should be 2.6/2.7.  There is a 
link<http://www.geekymedia.com/tech-articles/rhel5-centos5-rpms-for-python-2-5-and-2-6/>
 in the same thread that I can use to try and install later version of Python.  
However, should the two directories I mentioned above be missing from the 1.1 
package?  Is my Python version trully the culprit here or is it the missing 
directories that I need to have in place and run the setup from to start up the 
console?

Many thanks in advance for you time and attention!
