error in exception syntax

[Aaron Gray]

On Windows I have installed Python 3.2 and PyOpenGL-3.0.1 and am getting the
following error :-

File "c:\Python32\lib\site-packages\OpenGL\platform\win32.py", line 13
except OSError, err:
^

It works okay on my Linux machine running Python 2.6.2.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

Python 3.x is a different beast to Python 2.x. It has a number of
backward incompatible changes, including the try/except syntax.
Install the latest Python 2.x (Python 2.7) on your Windows machine and
use that. Then read http://docs.python.org/release/3.2/whatsnew/3.0.html

Use

try:
...
except OSError as err:
...

This will work in both 2.6 and 3.x. If you are interested in the reasons for
this change see

In Python 3 the syntax is:

except OSError as err:

Are you sure that that version of OpenGL compatible with Python 3?
