Dear Changguo,
Welcome to the NESSY mailing lists! The NESSY source code contains
many class definitions such as:
class X():
def something(self):
pass
This syntax is only valid for Python 2.5 or higher. There are other
places in the NESSY sources which are incompatible with Python 2.4 and
earlier and there is no easy fix. So unfortunately NESSY cannot run
on your older machine. If you cannot upgrade and you have good
GNU/Linux experience, you can actually build and install Python 2.7.3
into your home directory and then install all of the required Python
packages into this custom Python install. This will be able to run
NESSY and you will not need root access. But if you do not have
experience in building software from the source code or are not
adventurous enough to try compile Python and work out all of the issue
yourself, then I would recommend running NESSY on a more modern
operating system. I hope this helps.
Regards,
Edward
