Python Error when imported from different directory -

in mydir/test/testing/pqtest.py

import os,sys lib_path = os.path.abspath('../../lib/mine') sys.path.append(lib_path)  import util                <---- traceback import string import random  # code 

---

    traceback (most recent call last):        file "pqtest.py", line 5 in ?            import util        file "mydir/lib/mine/util.py", line 89           yield v if l > 0 else ''                       error point @ if  syntaxerror: invalid syntax 

however, there other files import util.py inside mydir/lib/mine not have problems file.

so why giving me traceback when importing somewhere else, in case mydir/test/testing?

syntax error on yield v if l > 0 else ''

def expand():     l,v in zip(field,val):         yield l         yield v if l > 0 else '' 

this python 2.5 not python 2.4

i assuming need tell pqtest.py use python 2.5 not sure how

if you're willing change util.py, obvious thing rewrite code it's 2.4 compatible. comment, reason not change util.py is:

… others depending on python 2.5.

but long new code has exact same effect on python 2.5+ original code, isn't problem.

for example, instead of this:

def expand():     l,v in zip(field,val):         yield l         yield v if l > 0 else '' 

do this:

def expand():     l,v in zip(field,val):         yield l         if l > 0:             yield v         else:             yield '' 

now other people depending on python 2.5 have no change, work in 2.4.
