epub.py has syntax error

[porphyry5]

Installed epub.py from the .zip download. Attempt to run it produced this result /home/g/Downloads/epub-master # ./epub.py -h File "./epub.py", line 66 print image.Image(image_file.name) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I know nothing about python, could you kindly advise me of the problem here. I have installed python2-beautifulsoup3-3.2.1-3 and python3.4.2 on arch linux mainline 3.18.1

you're using python 3 and this is written in python 2.

You may need to install python2. Also, on Arch, you may need to change line one of epub.py to #!/usr/bin/env python2

Many thanks, I guess that explains why I have python 2.7 as well as 3.4 on my system, already installed.

Yeah you need to use python2 instead of python3 run this with $ python epub.py <arguments> instead of $ python3 epub.py <arguments> May be this can help you install python2 :small_red_triangle: :smile_cat: :smiley_cat:
