Syntax error installing gunicorn
Question:
I am following this Heroku tutorial: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python-o and when I am trying to install gunicorn in a virtualenv I am getting this error:
(venv)jabuntu14@ubuntu:~/Desktop/helloflask$ pip install gunicorn
Downloading/unpacking gunicorn
Downloading gunicorn-19.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (104kB): 104kB downloaded
Installing collected packages: gunicorn
Compiling /home/jabuntu14/Desktop/helloflask/venv/build/gunicorn/gunicorn/workers /_gaiohttp.py ...
File "/home/jabuntu14/Desktop/helloflask/venv/build/gunicorn/gunicorn/workers /_gaiohttp.py", line 64
yield from self.wsgi.close()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Successfully installed gunicorn
Cleaning up...
However, when I run $foreman start it appears to work properly.
How important is this error? Any idea how to solve it?
Answers:
The error can be ignored, your gunicorn
package installed successfully.
The error is thrown by a bit of code that’d only work on Python 3.3 or newer, but isn’t used by older Python versions that Gunicorn supports.
See https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/issues/788:
The error is a syntax error happening during install. It is harmless.
During installation the setup.py
script tries to collect all files to be installed, and compiles them to .pyc
bytecache files. One file that is used only on Python 3.3 or up is included in this and the compilation for that one file fails.
The file in question adds support for the aiohttp http client/server package, which only works on Python 3.3 and up anyway. As such you can ignore this error entirely.
