I have not written python codes nor run any. I saw this
code posted and decided to try it. It fails. I read the
tutorial and the entry for the built in function sum,
but still do not see the problem. The code was cut and
paste. Please help. Thanks.

can you paste the complete code? I'm not sure why that's a syntax error
there. with a bit of fudging it seems to run in the interpreter ok...

try surrounding your sum argument in brackets:
sum([phi(x // ps[i+1], i) for i in range(a)])
instead of:
sum(phi(x // ps[i+1], i) for i in range(a))

Generator comprehensions like you used weren't introduced til
Python 2.4, so 2.3 will raise a syntax error like you got.

I doubt it -- "none" should be "None"
Please help. Thanks.

New syntax. Python 2.3 is *two* versions behind the current production
version. Either (a) run it on Python 2.4 or 2.5 or (b) enclose the
argument to sum in square brackets i.e.
sum([blah blah blah]) instead of sum(blah blah blah)
Cheers,
John

Thank you. That makes it work.

Thank you. That makes it work.
But is a wrong solution ;-) As others have suggested, it's almost
certainly the case that you were using a too-old version of Python.
2.5 is current, and 2.4.4 (the current bugfix release in the 2.4 line)
would also work. You must have been using a version before 2.4, and
if you're just starting with Python, it's a Bad Idea to artificially
burden yourself with an old version where current examples can't work
;-)
