python setup.py install error - blackclover - Jan-07-2021

Hi,

while trying to install a python program (Trelby) on Alpine Linux, I get the following error message:

$ sudo python setup.py install
File "setup.py", line 40
print(line, end=' ')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Could anyone shed some light as to what the code error is and how could i fix it?

Thanks.

You get that message because you use Python 2 which is now over end of life👻
In command line test python3 -V and pip3 -V.
If not install look at Apk add python3 py3-pip in Alpine.

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I removed python2 and installed python3 and py3-pip.
Then I ran $ sudo python3 setup.py install, and everything seemed to go fine, no error messages.
However, when I launched Trelby from the command line, I got another error:

$ /opt/trelby/bin/trelby
File "/opt/trelby/bin/trelby", line 3
import sys
^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

I checked the file /opt/trelby/bin/trelby which is like

#!/usr/bin/python3
 
 import sys
 
 # The following line is modified at installation time by setup.py so it
 # points to the actual modules installation path.
 sys.path.insert(0, "/opt/trelby//src") 
 import trelby
 trelby.main()

Now, I know nothing about Python, but I noticed that the path /opt/trelby//src has two // before src, which seems odd to me.
