Current rover source code is NOT compatible with python 2.7

I tried to install rover using Python 2.7, but I am finding a few areas where the code is using Python 3 features that are not compatible with Python 2.7.

Some examples of errors with Python 2.7:

  • print(..., file=) gives a syntax error (can be removed with a from __future__import print_function())
  • super() (super(CLASS, OBJECT) is back compatible)

Since Python 2 is no longer supported, I suggest updating setup.py to require Python 3.

Hi @baagaard-usgs, how did you try to install ROVER?

Note that general installation directly from the source code is not supported. The release packaging includes passing the code through pasteurize to make code that will run on both python 2.7 and 3.

Instead, installation is done via pip: https://pypi.org/project/rover/, as noted on the main project page: https://iris-edu.github.io/rover/

Installing from pip does work with Python 2.7. Sorry for the confusion!

No problem. Glad you got it worked out.
