Hi Kevin

I just tried building under Python 2.5.2 and got this:

$ python lore2sphinx.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "lore2sphinx.py", line 32, in <module> from table import Table File "/home/terry/s/net/lore2sphinx/table.py", line 214 row_lines = list(izip_longest(*row_split, fillvalue='')) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

From a quick look at table.py, I don't see the problem. I have to go to a meeting now, so can't dig into it ATM. Also, I have Spinx 0.6.3 installed, not 0.6.4

That's odd...I have no idea what's going on there. I'm actually kind of surprised you even got that far...see below.

After looking at this some more, it looks as though "izip_longest" is the culprit...introduced in 2.6. Why its giving a syntax error, though, is beyond me. Kevin Horn

The problem is the function call syntax:

You have keyword arguments after *args, and this is only valid in 2.6 and up. -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar

Ah, thanks for that. I don't typically use that syntax, and I thought it looked kind of goofy, but that's the way the signature for izip_longest is in the docs, so I used it there. And since it was introduced in 2.6... All makes sense now... Thanks again! Kevin Horn
