New issue 8: bad raise syntax https://bitbucket.org/rptlab/reportlab/issue/8/bad-raise-syntax ........ File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/svg2rlg.py", line 16, in <module> from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/reportlab/graphics/renderPDF.py", line 168 raise ValueError, 'bad value for textAnchor '+str(text_anchor) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
however, I believe that this older syntax is allowed in python 2.7. We've had other issues like this raised from various distros which are apparently making changes to 2.7 which change the external behaviour eg spelling corrections to attribute names. Could this be one of those?
