#63 Issue with script: eco2pgn.py

[ScreenName]

4 Lines in eco2pgn.py produce and error like this when used with python3.
print '[ECO "%s"]' % eco
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

To fix, change these lines

print '[ECO "%s"]' % eco
print '[Variation "%s"]' % variation
print '[Result "*"]'
print cont

To

print ('[ECO "%s"]' % eco)
print ('[Variation "%s"]' % variation)
print ('[Result "*"]')
print (cont)

Thank you, change is committed to subversion.
FYI i briefly tested on python 2.7 and still works there too.
Cheers

Here is an updated sript that works with Python 3

#!/usr/bin/env python
import re
import sys

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    sys.stderr.write("usage: eco2pgn file.eco > file.pgn\n")
    sys.stderr.write("eco2pgn takes a Scid openings classification file,\n")
    sys.stderr.write("and writes it in PGN format to standard output.\n")
    sys.exit(1)

fd = open(sys.argv[1], "r")

while 1:
    line = fd.readline()
    if not line: break
    line = line[:-1]

    if re.match("\\s*(#|$)", line): continue

    match = re.match("(\\S+)\\s+\"([^\\\"]+)\"(\\s+.+)?$", line)
    if match:
        eco, variation, cont = match.groups()

        if not cont:
            cont = ''

        while not cont or cont[-1] != '*':
            cont = cont + ' ' + fd.readline()[:-1]

        if cont[-1] == '*' and cont[-2] != ' ':
            cont = cont[:-1] + ' *'

    print('[ECO "%s"]' % eco)
    print('[Variation "%s"]' % variation)
    print('[Result "*"]')
    print()
    print(cont)
    print()
