[rsf-devel] Issue with rendering pdfs using madagascar

[Luke D. <dec...@gm...>]

Antananarivoians,

Let me join Julien in identifying a peculiar emergent issue in Madagascar!  
Attempting to render pdfs using SConstruct (even $RSFSRC/book/geo384h/hw1 , which I used to make sure it wasn’t just my manuscript) produces the following error on my Linux workstation:

[luke@osiris hw1]$ scons pdf
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'colorize' it contains a nested function with free variables (tex.py, line 636)

I identified a workaround for those needing to generate manuscripts ASAP: switching to the dtw branch I created a couple months ago and reinstalling Madagascar mitigates this error.

This makes me think the error was sourced by some modifications made between then and now.

FYI here is a relevant error that gets thrown during installation of the main branch most current version of Madagascar:

__pycompile(["build/framework/rsf/tex.pyc"], ["build/framework/rsf/tex.py"])
SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'colorize' it contains a nested function with free variables (tex.py, line 636)

Install file: "build/framework/rsf/tex.pyc" as "/workspace/luke/madagascar/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rsf/tex.pyc"
scons: *** [/workspace/luke/madagascar/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rsf/tex.pyc] build/framework/rsf/tex.pyc: No such file or directory
Install file: "config.py" as "/workspace/luke/madagascar/share/madagascar/etc/config.py"
scons: done building targets (errors occurred during build).


Thanks,

Luke
