Syntax error in parser.py during install

[zack.carter@…]

I attempt to install with easy_install (also tried manually, same result) and this happens:

$ easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/mediawikipluginmacro

TracMediaWikiMacro 1.0 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

Installed /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/TracMediaWikiMacro-1.0-py2.3.egg
Processing dependencies for TracMediaWikiMacro==1.0
Finished processing dependencies for TracMediaWikiMacro==1.0

I'm running Python 2.3. It says it installed but doesn't show up in Trac, maybe because of the error? I edited trac.ini and restarted the server beforehand, of course.

I don't have access to python 2.3 anymore. I think, that there is a problem with list comprehension. With python 2.5 everything works fine. Try to rewrite slugify function with no list comprehension. Maybe it could work. Something like:

def slugify(text):
    list = []
    for t in text.split(u'/'):
        list.append(slugifyBit(t))
    return u'/'.join(list)

The above rewrite of slugify appears to work for me
