[Jython-users] Strange syntax errors in lib on Mac

[Kent J. <kjo...@tr...>]

Hello,

I am experimenting with jython 2.0 on MacOS and I am getting some 
very strange syntax errors in the supplied Python library. For 
example:

>>>  import codecs
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
   File "/Heron/Applications/jython-2.0/Lib/codecs.py", line 396
SyntaxError: Lexical error at line 396, column 41.  Encountered: 
<EOF> after : ""

>>>  import httplib
Traceback (innermost last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in ?
   File "/Heron/Applications/jython-2.0/Lib/httplib.py", line 580
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Looking at the indicated lines they look fine to me. For example the 
error in codecs.py is in the middle of a long doc comment. If I try 
to delete the offending line in httplib the error moves to another 
line.

I am perplexed; I don't know if this is a Mac-related problem or 
what. Any help in tracking this down would be appreciated.

Thanks,
