SyntaxError: invalid syntax in downloading from Category

[marlara]

I used pip to install CommonsDownloader and I'm using python 3.6 on Ubuntu. 18.04 When I run this command:

download_from_Wikimedia_Commons --category Giovanni_Battista_Moroni --output ~/path
I get the following error:

 File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2456, in resolve
    module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/commonsdownloader/commonsdownloader.py", line 104
    except DownloadException, e:
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is it something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Hi @marlara ,

I’m afraid CommonsDownloader was written in Python2 and never upgraded to py3 :-(

There’s an open PR for this at #15 − I will try to have a look soon.

Thank you very much, I didn't check the python version, sorry Il ven 20 nov 2020, 18:07 Jean-Frédéric <[email protected]> ha scritto:

Hi @JeanFred, I would be very interested to use this tool to download files from categories, do you plan looking at the PR soon? All the best

I had to go check this issue to notice it. Consider mentioning that you should use python 2 on the readme of the project
