In a break from real work, I wanted to play a little with 3.0. Did svn update, and built on Windows.
Unfortunately, the resulting Python does not understand the new octal literals like 0o777, so
importing 'os' fails:
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
Python 3.0x (p3yk:55071M, May 2 2007, 13:50:45) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\svn\p3yk\lib\os.py", line 150
def makedirs(name, mode=0o777):
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>
Any hints on what I have to do to make this work?
Thanks,
Thomas
