Help with Python Script

[Destined]

Hi all,

some time ago SteveL gave me a python script, that can search files in the TDM installation (also inside pk4-files), which is very handy for playing around with definitions, materials, etc. Unfortunately, the script does not work with the latest Python distribution. Could someone, who in contrast to myself knows python, be so kind to correct the script, so it works? Idle gives an error that the print part is wrong; I am not sure if they have changed anything in their syntax. Any help is appreciated!

In Python 3 you can no longer write:

print "something"

it has to be

print("something")

as if you are calling a function.

 

I have no idea if that's the only problem with the script, but it would be the first thing to try if you are getting errors about print statements.

 

Also be aware that you are not forced to run scripts with Python 3. You should be able to install and run Python 2 quite happily alongside Python 3, and most Linux distributions will do this by default (because there are a lot of existing scripts which have not been updated).

Thanks! I will try to get an earlier version. This seems to be the simplest solution.
