I tried the following code in the EdPy-IDE and it works:

import Ed

Ed.EdisonVersion = Ed.V1

Ed.DistanceUnits = Ed.TIME
Ed.Tempo = Ed.TEMPO_MEDIUM

#--------Your code below-----------

for x in range(10):
    Ed.RightLed(Ed.ON)

Using this code in our source code editor, generates an error of the Edison compiler we are using:

Achtung

Das Programm kann nicht auf dem Roboter oder in der Simulation ausgeführt werden. Das Program kann nicht übersetzt werden. Die Fehlermeldung ist:
{"error": true, "messages": ["ERR: file:10:0: Syntax Error, FOR code too complex for Ed.Py"], "wavFilename": null}

A possible reason: our Edison compiler is outdated. BTW: the program can be executed in the simulation. We should change the error message.

The "old" (and origin) Edison Python compiler works, but unfortunately only with Python 2. That's why we changed it here to a python 3 compatible version. Seem like the issue with "too complex" comes from this compiler: https://github.com/thonny/thonny-edison One workaround would be, to switch back to the Python 2 version or trying to fix the thonny solution. Last year the information from Edison was, that they are not working on a Python 3 compatible compiler for Python.

[bjost2s]

The implemented solution is to use edison's compiler directly. In conversation with the people at edison, it turned out that we are allowed to use their API for this purpose.

Tested and works fine on Windows also! Thanx ;)
