Dear Adam,
Thanks for such a thorough list of instructions. Unfortunately, I am still
receiving the casperfpga/register.py syntax error above (now using Python
2.7.12) . However, I was able to resolve one other casperfpga issue doing
the following:
when running the "sudo python setup.py install" command, I was receving the
following error:
Warning (from warnings module):
File "/usr/local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py", line 267
warnings.warn(msg)
UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'
This was resolved by changing the line (in setup.py) from 'from
distutils.core import setup' to 'from setuptools import setup'. I made this
change because distutils does not support 'install_requires', though
setuptools does according to this StackOverflow discussion
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9810603/adding-install-requires-to-setup-py-when-making-a-python-package>.
After this change, I then reran the line "sudo python setup.py install”, in
the casperfpga directory. The install_requires issue was resolved but as
mentionned above, the syntax error in register.py still exists. Then I ran
the same command in the katcp-python directory and receive the following
issue:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 5, in <module>
from katcp import version
File "/u/home/josaitis/katcp-python/katcp/__init__.py", line 23, in
<module>
from .core import (Message, KatcpSyntaxError, MessageParser,
File "/u/home/josaitis/katcp-python/katcp/core.py", line 1625
self._waiting_futures = {state: tornado_Future() for state in
valid_states}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Any idea on how to fix this syntax error in the katcp-python setup?
Best,
Alec
