Summary: StarTeam object causes interpreter bug

Initial Comment:
i try to use python to access the StarTeam COM 

interface thru automation (StarTeam is a source-control 

system: http://www.borland.com/starteam/). i do the 

following:



import win32com.client

from win32com.client import Dispatch

f = Dispatch('StarTeam.StServerFactory')

s = f.Create('<server>', <port>)



at this point, the interpreter seems to break. anything i 

write (and i mean *anything*) results in



  File "<stdin>", line 1

    dir()

         ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax



this behavior has been observed both in Python 2.3 with 

the appropriate win32all extensions and in ActivePython 

2.2.

When I do something similar I enter

s = f.Create('<server>', <port>)

and get

Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1

    s = f.Create('<server>', <port>)

                                    ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (the caret is under the < before

ports)

which is what I'd expect, as the < is a relational operator

expecting a left argument as well as a right.



Or did you actually type something different than what you

posted?
