Re: about invalid syntax
. I've been schooled with various versions of several languages, but I'm just now learning python: I've not yet personally experienced any python debugger . . I understand the python`IDLE (integrated DeveL Envir) comes with the std distro, and here is the part in the doc's that you might find encouraging: google( python idle debugger faq) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.python.org/doc/faq/programming.html#is-there-a-source-code-level-debugger-with-breakpoints-single-stepping-etc "( General Questions 1.1.1 Is there a source code level debugger with breakpoints, single-stepping, etc.? Yes. The IDLE -- includes a graphical debugger. (see folder path: Tools/scripts/idle), There is documentation for the IDLE debugger at http://www.python.org/idle/doc/idle2.html#Debugger PythonWin includes a GUI debugger based on pdb (python`s std command-line debug) . The Pythonwin debugger colors breakpoints and has quite a few cool features such as debugging non-Pythonwin programs. A reference can be found at http://www.python.org/windows/pythonwin/ . Recent versions of PythonWin are available as a part of the ActivePython distribution (see http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/index.html). )-python.org . another thing I plan to get into since I'm interested in taming xp, is iPython, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ipython.scipy.org/ . there are many reasons for this, but the one most relevant to your needs at the moment (avoiding mysterious error msg's) is this: "( # Automatic indentation of code as you type -- (merely having inconsistent spaces or a tab-space mixture can cause unexpected syntax msg's, I'm told) # Verbose and colored exception traceback printouts . Easier to parse visually, and in verbose mode they produce a lot of useful debugging information # Easy debugger access to rapidly isolate the source of a bug: . You can set IPython to call up the Python debugger (pdb) every time there is an uncaught exception . This drops you inside the code which triggered the exception with all the data live and it is possible to navigate the stack . The %run magic command -with the -d option- can run any script under pdb's control, automatically setting initial breakpoints for you. [. other features that interest me include: ] # Offers a flexible framework inspired by the likes of Mathematica, IDL and Mathcad # Session logging (you can then later use these logs as code in your programs). # Session restoring: logs can be replayed to restore a previous session to the state where you left it. # Filesystem navigation, via a magic %cd command, along with a persistent bookmark system (using %bookmark) for fast access to frequently visited directories. # The ability to expand python variables when calling the system shell . In a shell command, any python variable prefixed with $ is expanded . A double $$ allows passing a literal $ to the shell (for access to shell and environment variables like $PATH). )-scipy.org On 11/14/05, Ben Bush <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 11/14/05, adDoc's networker Phil <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: . maybe you could separate your code into parts { python std, pythonwin-specific},and then use a debugger to know most of the problem sources?

Based on the ">>>" prompt, I'd say you tried to type this into the python interactive interpreter. It's supposed to be a shell command -- i.e. you *invoke* the python interpreter to run the file from the command line.

WMI - invalid syntax error?
Hi, I am running python 2.4.2 on win xp pro. I have the WMI module from Tim Golden (http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html). I have some code which does this... MyScript.py -- import wmi # the ip of my own local desktop machine = "1.2.3.4" try: w = wmi.WMI(machine) # also tried, wmi.WMI(computer=machine) except Exception, e: print "ERROR:", e c:>python >> from MyScript import * >>> ERROR: -0x7ffbfe1c - Invalid syntax >> import wmi >> w = wmi.WMI("1.2.3.4") >> So when I import the script I get the "invalid syntax" error (which comes from the line, w = wmi.WMI()) but in the same window if I just type it in manually I get no error.

OK, so if I understand you: at the interpreter you can do this: import wmi w = wmi.WMI ("1.2.3.4") # no problem but if you put it into a file and then import * from that file, it fails with a wmi exception: import wmi w = wmi.WMI ("1.2.3.4") from blah import * ## some kind of x_wmi exception happens here And this happens on wmi 0.6 and 1.0rc2. Is this correct? It's just that you've got several things which could to be blurring the issue - the fact that you're using an explicit IP address rather than passing no params, which will then use the local machine automatically; you've added an exception handler which doesn't do much; your traceback in the second email doesn't (quite) match the MyScript in the first. It's not that these are wrong - I'm just trying to eliminate non-essentials to get to the core of the thing. In short, what I wrote above works for me on 0.6 and 1.0rc2. A syntax error usually means that the moniker's got problems - that's the string which the wmi module builds up on your behalf to get something to pass to MS COM.

Hmmm. I think I'm now in the unusual situation of having *too much* information to solve the problem. The thing I'm straining for is the minimum reproducible situation. At first it looked as though it was down to running the code from a file rather than at the interpreter. Is that still the case? Your previous post about the monikers suggests that running the code twice -- in any way -- triggered the problem. Is that true? The code above introduces the extra complication of a reload which I'm afraid just muddies the waters. To confirm, your code above runs from a file any number of times without issue on my (WinXP Python 2.4.2) box using wmi 0.6b. Behind the scenes, the wmi module is doing something like this: import win32com.client x = win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts:") Now if I deliberately fudge that moniker, I'll get the error message you show above, which is what I expected with an ill-formed moniker. import win32com.client x = win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmtxx:") # pywintypes.com_error: (-2147221020, 'Invalid syntax', None, None) Googling for your original error code (-0x7ffbfe1c) which is 800401E4 in top-bit-set hex, most of the hits suggest that WMI is not installed on the box in question (typically because it's a Win98 or WinNT install without the WMI download). But you're on WinXP, so that can't be it. I'm afraid I'm still mystified; it's frustrating because I can't even reproduce the situation. TJG This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.

invalid syntax - problems with CR (0x0a)
hi, i'm very new to python and am experiencing the following problem: an identical program that runs on certain computers crashes on other machines due to Carriage Returns (CR; 0x0a) that now appear in the source code.
