Andres,
I scrapped my Oracle Enterprise Linux~=RHEL 5.8 VM because after I installed
Python2.7 my yum application update module [that apparently relies on Oracle
branded python2.4.xx and complained that python2.7 is not compatible w/yum]
broke. I setup a new Ubunthu 12.04 VM that already came w/python2.7.3. I
followed w3af install guide and when tried running ./w3af_console got a few
other errors complaining that:
root@w3af:/home/rzavolly/w3af# ./w3af_console
Your python installation needs the following packages:
nltk lxml pysvn scapy
On debian based systems:
sudo apt-get install python-nltk python-lxml python-svn python-scapy
I installed all of the required python-nltk python-lxml python-svn python-scapy
modules. Tried to run w3af_console and got this:
root@w3af:/home/rzavolly/w3af# ./w3af_console
Additional information:

Subject: w3af 1.1 missing contents?
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!
