I follow the instructions in instructions.mdtext from site/trunk trying to install Markdown. I have python 2.4.3 and perl 5.8.8 installed. * For Python install : * [setuptools] (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools) * pygments * ElementTree * Markdown setuptools, pygments and ElementTree installed with no problem. However when tried to install Markdown, I got: [root@atlanta ~]# sudo easy_install Markdown Searching for Markdown Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/Markdown/ Reading http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown Reading https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153041 Reading http://packages.python.org/Markdown/ Reading http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/ Best match: Markdown 2.2.1 Downloading http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/M/Markdown/Markdown-2.2.1.tar.gz Processing Markdown-2.2.1.tar.gz Running Markdown-2.2.1/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-KHVTZ5/Markdown-2.2.1/egg-dist-tmp-KYdiQI Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/easy_install", line 7, in ? sys.exit( File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 1712, in main with_ei_usage(lambda: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 1700, in with_ei_usage return f() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 1716, in distclass=DistributionWithoutHelpCommands, **kw File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/core.py", line 149, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 946, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/distutils/dist.py", line 966, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 211, in run self.easy_install(spec, not self.no_deps) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 446, in easy_install return self.install_item(spec, dist.location, tmpdir, deps) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 476, in install_item dists = self.install_eggs(spec, download, tmpdir) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 655, in install_eggs return self.build_and_install(setup_script, setup_base) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 930, in build_and_install self.run_setup(setup_script, setup_base, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/command/easy_install.py", line 919, in run_setup run_setup(setup_script, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 61, in run_setup DirectorySandbox(setup_dir).run( File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 105, in run return func() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.4.egg/setuptools/sandbox.py", line 64, in {'__file__':setup_script, '__name__':'__main__'} File "setup.py", line 130 with codecs.open('docs/_template.html', encoding='utf-8') as f: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax [root@atlanta ~]# Any idea why it has SyntaxErro on the codecs token in setup.py?
