[DaveG]

Hi
Would someone be able to identify my syntax error please?

Error:
    print ( >> fdeg , "%.8f %.8f %.5f" % (xx[ii], yy[jj], deformation[jj, ii]))
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Without using the python tags, I'm not sure I can tell where the error is pointing at. But I'm wondering what you are intending with the >> fdeg. What are the arrows supposed to indicate?

[DaveG]

I'm sorry I don't know as I'm trying to debug someone else's script. The chevron was under the gap before the >>.

Those arrows are not valid Python.

[Gribouillis]

Those arrows are not valid Python.

The arrows were valid python in the Python 2 version of the print statement

print>>fileptr, "spam"

They are no longer valid in Python 3. The Python 3 version is

print("spam", file=fileptr)
