What's wrong with my except? [duplicate]

Question

I've got a SyntaxError on my except:

try:     opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], 'P:D:H:d:u:p:nvhmJi:c:Ml:TB:',             ['host=', 'port=', 'directory=', 'user=', 'password=',              'daemon=', 'noauth', 'help', 'verbose', 'mysql',               'icounter=', 'config=', 'nolock', 'nomime', 'loglevel', 'noiter',              'baseurl=']) except getopt.GetoptError, e:     print usage     print '>>>> ERROR: %s' % str(e)     sys.exit(2) 

I get the error:

File "main.py", line 199  except getopt.GetoptError, e:  SyntaxError: invalid syntax 

Anyone have any idea?

Answer 1

You use python3 and in python3 the raise syntax no longer accepts comma-separated arguments.

Use as instead:

except getopt.GetoptError as e: 

This form is also backwards-compatible with 2.6 and 2.7.
