Syntax Error

[clwgg]

Hi,
I get the following error whenever I try to run sopaper:

Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I think I have all packages installed (see below), and have had this error now on two independent systems (Ubuntu 16.04 and ArchLinux). Any help would be appreciated.

Some more info on packages:

After taking a second look, the problem is probably the print statement which uses python2 syntax while I am using python3. I suppose the project is intended to be used with python2?

[ppwwyyxx]

Yes. This is a python2 project.

[clwgg]

alright, thanks for the confirmation! It might be helpful for others to display that more prominently in the README.

Do you have any plans of making it compatible with python3? I don't personally use python a lot and have no experience in how much effort that'd be, so please excuse my ignorance. Are there many other incompatibilities other than print ?

[metegenez]

Wish you wrote the project with python3 :)

Fixed by #13

i had this problem which got fixed by installing sopaper in a dedicated python 2 conda env.
