Initial setup to Use web-services -problems

How To
1

I just installed Active Python from: (ActivePython-3.4.3.2-win64-x64), and Komodo from: (Komodo-IDE-10.1.4-89515),
but trying a very simple program (ran under older Komodo versions) gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “E:\Developer\ActiveState Komodo IDE 10\lib\support\dbgp\python3lib\dbgp\client.py”, line 2445, in runMain
self.dbg.runfile(debug_args[0], debug_args)

except FaultException, e:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Since this is in a Komodo system library, I am not sure how to pursue it; probably some setup error?

Hmm, it appears it might be because of an imported library, but why that would cause this error is not clear to me…

from ZSI import ServiceProxy
from ZSI import FaultException
Is there a better approach for a high level web-services library? This one may be out of date, (or even not Python3; version not mentioned on web-site)?

What would be the expected symptoms of running Python3 and compatibility errors with any older library?

Hi @guthrie, the “invalid syntax” line is presumably coming from some Python 2 code that is ultimately being loaded (I’m not sure where, but it’s not from Komodo). I believe what you’ve experienced are the expected symptoms of running Python 3 code with an older Python 2 library.

Yes, thanks.
