NameError: name 'pyver' is not defined

[שולמית מירל]

Hello,

We have python 2.6 & 3.2 installed on Sun solaris.
When running py utility, we get the below error:

"NameError: global name 'execfile' is not defined"

p4convert-cvs.py

EXCEPTION: [Errno 17] File exists: './LOGS'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "p4convert-cvs.py", line 134, in <module>
cvstop4lib.readconfig(configfile=args.config)
File "/bzqchome/bzq/ccbzq/mb_ccbzq/Perforce/p4convert/cvstop4lib.py", line 61, in readconfig
execfile(configfile,globals()) # read in the config file - must be valid Python, evaluated in the context of this file
NameError: global name 'execfile' is not defined


How to solve this problem?

Thank you!

Hello,

We have python 2.6 & 3.2 installed on Sun solaris. When running py
utility, we get the below error:

"NameError: global name 'execfile' is not defined"

Sounds like you are accidentally running a script intended for Python2.6
under Python3.2 instead.

execfile is removed from 3.2, so you need to either edit the script to
update it for 3.2, or you need to make sure you are running it under 2.6.

Do you need help with that?

execfile() no long exists in Python 3 so chances are you are trying to
run a Python 3 program with Python 2. Try running the script explicitly
under Python 2:

python2.6 p4convert-cvs.py

You may have inadvertently done a "make install" with Python 3.2 that
has created a link from "python" to "python3.2". Later versions of
Python 3 are a little more careful about reserving "python" for Python 2
and "python3" for Python 3, although some distributions (notably Arch
Linux) do it differently.

Er, "trying to run a Python 2 program with Python 3", of course.

I tried first to run the script under 2.6 version, but than the "argparse" was missing. I couldn't find python 2.7 for unix download.

execfile(configfile,globals())

You could replace the above line in cvstop4lib.py with the following:

exec(open(configfile).read(), globals())
