I'm not quite new to this language, but such error has never happened
so frequently before. I have no idea what to do about it, because
there's actually no syntax error at all !!
I'm using python 2.4.3 on windows, with gvim..
I realize this might because of the tab and space, so I use listchars
in vim to all my tabs and trailing spaces visible, make sure they are
used consistently, but python still raise syntax error, no further
description, and just make no sense to me.
anyone heard of such issue or the like before?
many thanks....

Looking into my crystal ball, I see that you are correct, there is no
syntax error -- because there is no code! There might not even be a
computer. It is all an illusion brought on by lack of fresh air.
Or maybe not -- my crystal ball is notoriously unreliable.
How about you post the FULL traceback of the error, so we can see for
ourselves if there is a syntax error or not?
e.g.
>>x{4} = 5
File "<stdin>", line 1
x{4} = 5
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

thank you so much for the reply.
I finally re-type all the codes where python would raise syntax error,
then fixed. I did not examine every single word of my old codes though,
there might be some parenthesis not matching somewhere, I guess.
well, I would say, the reason why I could not position the error code
may partly due to the ambiguous message that python provides. the lines
that python pointed to contains no error, I think the error codes must
be too far away from there. anyway, I hope python would make more
detailed error messages, like c++ compilers do. such as: "missing ;" or
"(" not matching...etc.
tks again..

What Steve is trying to tell you is that you need to copy/paste your
code (with the full traceback) in future messages. We are not mind
readers out here.
Occassionally I will have phantom syntax errors that seem to be
attributable to non-printing characters in a line. Other times the
error is in fact far above the place pointed to by the syntax error.
Start by commenting out large chunks of code with triple quotes and
slowly work towards the lines with a problem.

Hello All,
Is this a bug? Why is this tuple getting unpacked by raise? Am I missing some
subtle logic? Why does print not work the same way as raise? Both are
statements. Why does raise need to be so special?
py> sometup = 1,2
py> print sometup
(1, 2)
py> print 1,2,3, sometup

Hi,
I have a problem with err.raise
I write a class module, and I want to use this mechanism to indicate errors
when user set wrong values to properties
But it seems the error is never raised (although, when I exit from the
property let code, if I check err.number and message, I get the error
message I set in err.raise statement
But my calling code never throw me into error handler if I set wrong

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Dear forum friends,
With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.
