    Syntax error

    Hi,

    I've had this problem in the past and still cannot fully understand.

    I latelly passed my source code in Wing IDE wihch asked be to resolve
    tab/space/CRLF conflicts and I said yes (initially the code was developped
    under Linux ... and now all source got tabs replaced by spaces and all EOL
    when switched to Windows CR/LF)

    I sent a new release of the software, tested here first, to the customer who
    got a syntax error on a line which visibly did not have any error.

    retyping that line by and made the error jump around the file like crazy.

    I had the customer comment out the first two lines of the file:

    """
    #!/bin/env python
    # -*- coding: iso-8859-15 -*-
    """

    .... and the problem disappeared.

    I am at a loss.

    Any clue ?

    Thanks

      There was once a bug in Python that lead to such "errors" if an encoding
      comment was used. So your costumer might check his Python version and
      maybe he should update.

          Without a stacktrace? It's spring, not crystal ball season.

              Thanks,

              The troubling part is that I package python in the release ... but I'll
              check anyway.

                  Not worth showing really, it's a screen dump so can't put it here but:

                  .....
                  self.T_CARD_FOU ND = 'PLEASE WAIT ...'
                  ^
                  Syntax error
