[Spambayes] Install error with SpamBayes

[jason.ahrens at rogers.com]

Hello.

I am new to SpamBayes, and trying to install it. As the subject suggests, I am having problems. I have been unable to find any reference to similar problems in the archives or through net searches, so I'm asking for help.

My platform is Linux 2.4.20 with Python 2.3.

I've downloaded spambayes (1.0a4, as well as the CVS on two different days) and every time I get the same problem during the setup.py install phase. Below is a snippet of what seems to be the relevant portion. In essence, Python tells me that hammie.py has a syntax error...

If anyone can offer any assistance on what may be wrong, it will be much appreciated. I am interested in running spampays using procmail. Any additional information required/requested will be provided in a timely fashion..

Thanks!

Jason
