SyntaxError: invalid syntax when running the pynt command

[saggar]

I followed the steps as per https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-etl-orchestrator, but when I run pynt the following error is shown. I tried both python3 and python 2.7 while creating the virtualenv. And having print statement in the same line didn't work either.

Python 3.6.5

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Convert all your print statements to use the function and it will fine. So in your error line above change to: print('zipping %s as %s' % (os.path.join(dirname, filename),??)

Search on "print" there are several to update.

Let me just qualify this for people - if you've created a virtualEnv using python 3.5.6, then yes, you'll need to put all your print statements (there are 32) from:

print 'doing something'
to
print('doing something')

print statements were updated throughout the project to be Python 3 compatible.
