errors upon compilation

[slenkar]

when using the stable version:
/root/Downloads/zxbasic/zxb.py -t -a -B /root/Downloads/zxbasic/examples/colors.bas (in directory: /root/Downloads/zxbasic/examples)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/root/Downloads/zxbasic/zxb.py", line 12, in <module>
from six import StringIO
ImportError: No module named six
Compilation failed.


the most recent version of ZXBASIC:
python /root/Downloads/zxbasic/zxb.py -t -a -B /root/Downloads/zxbasic/examples/colors.bas (in directory: /root/Downloads/zxbasic/examples)
Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

is it because my version of python is incompatible? its 2.6.4

EDIT -
using python3 works:
python3 /root/Downloads/zxbasic/zxb.py -t -a -B /root/Downloads/zxbasic/examples/colors.bas (in directory: /root/Downloads/zxbasic/examples)
Compilation finished successfully.

Hi!

Yes, use python 2.7 or python 3.x
I dropped support for python 2.6 long ago!! Actually the next year I'll drop support for python 2 entirely.

Also, if you download the windows version, it already includes a python3 interpreter bundled.   So just running the zxb.exe will do everything for you.
