Re: [Webware-discuss] cvs update: Properties.py & doc generation

[Chuck E. <ec...@mi...>]

The code that it's having problems with in your traceback below is 
PSP/Properties.py. However, I don't see anything wrong with the file, and I 
am able to run it through Python with no errors:

python PSP/Properties.py


I'm using Py 2.0, but I don't see any 2.0 specific features in 
PSP/Properties.py. However, now that I check, I do see them in install.py. 
I'll remove them today.

What ver of Python are you using? What platform?

Perhaps an end-of-line problem? Are you using CVS on the same 
platform/machine you are running Python?
