Invalid Syntax running ./WikiExtractor.py -h about wikiextractor HOT 7 CLOSED

Python 2.7, no prerequisites.

Ok, that's what I have here - Python 2.7. So, any ideas on the syntax issue here?

Thanks for the quick response

Could you replace the line in question with

afterPat = dict()
for o,c in izip(openDelim, closeDelim):
    afterPat[o] = re.compile(openPat + '|' + c, re.DOTALL)

This basically omits the short cut notation of the for loop. Furthermore, do you use any python Environment (e.g. Anaconda)? If that's the case then please try executing the script via python ./Wikiextractor.py -h as otherwise it is defaulting to the system's python interpreter in /usr/bin.

Thank you for the quick response. Running it with python WikiExtractor.py appears to be working.

As for the code change do you want me to make that and issue a pull req or was that just for me to get up and running? Thanks

The code change was just to get you beyond that error. As this project requires python 2.7, such syntax ought to be supported (and it would've to be changed in several other places as well, in fact).
I suggest that this solves your problem? For a final check you could call /usr/bin/python and see what version caused the syntax error.

Thanks again for the help. I'll get round to cleaning up my environments etc.
