Problem building ObjectHandler

Hi,

I’ve followed the instructions for installing ObjectHandler 0.9.7 under Windows, and got to the point where I’ve loaded the Visual C++ Solution into Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. A build of the solution then fails with the following error:

1>------ Build started: Project: ohgensrc, Configuration: All Win32 ------

1>Performing Makefile project actions

1>Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 9.00.21022.08

1> ..\..\gensrc\gensrc.py -xdlv --oh_dir=..

1> File "c:\build_ql_0_9_7\gensrc\gensrc.py", line 51

1> print USAGE_ERROR % { 'scriptName' : sys.argv[0] }

1> ^

1>SyntaxError: invalid syntax

1>NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '..\..\gensrc\gensrc.py' : return code '0x1'

1>Stop.

1>Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing Makefile project actions"

1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\build_ql_0_9_7\ObjectHandler\gensrc\build\vc\BuildLog.htm"

1>ohgensrc - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

This looks like Python doesn’t understand the gensrc.py script. I have

Python 3.1.2 (r312:79149, Mar 21 2010, 00:41:52) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

If I try to execute gensrc.py from the IDLE Python GUI directly, I get a similar error.

I’m no expert on Python, so I don’t have a clue where this problem might be coming from.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Erik

Re: Problem building ObjectHandler

Hi Erik,

I'm build QuantLibXL using Python 2.5.4. I recently had what looks to be a similar issue to the one you are experiencing.

To find out more information about the error you could try:-

At a command prompt, change directory to ObjectHandler\gensrc then run

..\..\gensrc\gensrc.py -xdlv --oh_dir=..

The resolution I found for my issue was:-

It turned out that windows association of Python interpreter to .py file association was incorrect. See http://bugs.python.org/issue7936. To determine Python interpreter file association, at the DOS Prompt key in:-

assoc .py

this displays a string like ".py=py_auto_file". Now type

ftype py_auto_file

(actually replace py_auto_file with the output from the first command)

This should display something like

py_auto_file="C:\Program Files\Python25\python.exe" "%1" %*

If %* is missing, then arguments are not passed to the python interpreter.

Re: Problem building ObjectHandler

Hi Don,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my problem seems to be different from yours. Following your steps, I get

C:\build_ql_0_9_7\gensrc>gensrc.py -xdlv --oh_dir=..

File "C:\build_ql_0_9_7\gensrc\gensrc.py", line 51

print USAGE_ERROR % { 'scriptName' : sys.argv[0] }

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

C:\build_ql_0_9_7\gensrc>assoc .py

.py=Python.File

C:\build_ql_0_9_7\gensrc>ftype Python.File

Python.File="C:\Python31\python.exe" "%1" %*

So in particular the %* is there, not missing…

Best regards,

Erik

I suggest you use a Python from the 2.x series (the current 2.6 should
work.) The Python 3 series is still kind of experimental.

Not just experimental, but also it intentionally breaks compatibility
with the 2.x series:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/#compatibility-and-transition

In the particular case shown by Erik, I think it is the change in
meaning of "print" from a statement to a function that is breaking
things.

Best,
Bojan

Re: Problem building ObjectHandler

Thanks Bojan, Luigi - switching to Python 2.6 did the trick.

Best regards,
Erik
