nonlocal doesn't worl with 2.X

[andrewsben]

line 629 of pyparser sets nonlocal variables limit and foundArity.  In python 2.X nonlocal variables are read only and cannot be set.  In the following lines setting them is attempted. 

'decorator to trim function calls to match the arity of the target'
def _trim_arity(func, maxargs=3):
    if func in singleArgBuiltins:
        return lambda s,l,t: func(t)
    limit = 0
    foundArity = False
    def wrapper(*args):
        nonlocal limit,foundArity
        while 1:
            try:
                ret = func(*args)
                foundArity = True
                return ret
            except TypeError:
                if limit == maxargs or foundArity:
                    raise
                limit += 1
                continue
    return wrapper

Error i am seeing is:

  File "/tmp/easy_install-7t56MV/pyparsing-2.0.0/pyparsing.py", line 629
    nonlocal limit,foundArity
                 ^

Pyparsing 2.0.0 is for Python 3 only - latest pyparsing version for Python 2.x is 1.5.7.

[Paul McGuire]

To do this with easy_install, use the command "easy_install pyparsing==1.5.7"

[andrewsben]

Thanks for the information.  Will alter my script to force 1.5.7.

[Marcel Stimberg]

It's of course fine to have newer versions only support Python 3 but the way this change is introduced is probably breaking a lot of automatic testing code (like mine) that just uses the newest pyparsing version available. In addition, installation via "easy_install pyparsing" and "pip install pyparsing" is impossible on Python 2 and does not give any useful error message.

I'm not sure:  Does pip take the package meta-data into account? If yes, removing "Programming Language :: Python" and only keeping "Programming Language :: Python :: 3" might prevent pip from trying to install it under python 2.

Either way, I think it would be a good idea to add a check to setup.py, something along the lines of:

if sys.hexversion <= 0x03000000:
  raise Exception('This version of pyparsing requires Python 3, 1.5.7 is the last version supporting Python 2.')

Oh, and the README file still states:
"(pyparsing requires Python 2.3.2 or later.)"

I am unable to install the 1.5.7 release with pip :

$ pip install pyparsing==1.5.7

It's like the 1.5.7 release was overwritten by the new version ?

[Jimmy Royer]

Same problem over here, I cannot install with

pip install pyparsing==1.5.7

and the documentation for version 2.0.0 still list 2.3.2 as compatible. I had to come here to find out. Any place where we can download a previous version?

If you tried to install the lastest version before, you need to clear the pip cache  before trying to install a previous version

I see http://www.2gather.in/?p=98

And solved this with

$ pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyparsing/pyparsing-1.5.7.tar.gz

pip install pyparsing==1.5.6    
pip install pyparsing==1.5.7

^ Doesn't work on Python 2.7.5

easy_install pyparsing==1.5.7

^ Works

What's more concerning is that pyparsing is part of Celery's requirements, and it borks on this error trying to install.

[Paul McGuire]

Thanks for the reminder - I'm checking in version 2.0.1 of pyparsing, which
will be compatible with Pythons 2.6 and 2.7 also.
