Why does "as" cause a SyntaxError in an "except" statement in Jython 2.5?
Question:
I got the following syntax error at the following line when I run my program in jython:
except Exception as detail:
SyntaxError: mismatched input ‘as’ expecting COLON
but on python is it ok? What is wrong? I am trying to use the stanford pos tagger api (java) in my python program. Are there other ways?
Answers:
There are 2 current versions of Jython: the 2.5 version is the stable one, and 2.7 is a release candidate. The as syntax for except appeared in CPython 2.6 and thus will be supported in Jython 2.7; I guess you’re using Jython 2.5,
You can use the older (Python 3 incompatible) except syntax in Jython 2.5:
except Exception, detail:
