I'm running OS X 10.5.6 (uname -a == Darwin 9.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0: Mon Nov 24 17:37:00 PST 2008; root:xnu-1228.9.59~1/RELEASE_I386 i386) I get the following error after compiling Python 3.0. Note that I have NOT installed it; I'm just trying to run the regression tests on the build. Python-3.0 cfkaran2$ ./Lib/test/regrtest.py -u largefile test_io File "./Lib/test/regrtest.py", line 183 print(msg, file=sys.stderr) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax I suspect that tester is not using the newly built python 3.0, but is using whatever is installed on the system, though I have not checked this at all.

Well, you must indeed use the newly built python, that is "./python -m test.regrtest [any arguments]". Out of curiosity, why did you specifically run test_io? Any problem on your platform?

> Do you know how to get python to > run from the locally built directory without installing it? Well, precisely as I told you, but unfortunately it seems it doesn't work for you. I'm no Mac OS X user, so I advise you search the tracker for similar problems, it seems the build procedure on Mac hasn't been polished yet for Python 3.0. (in any case, you can't run Python 3.0 scripts with Python 2.x, because there have been a few syntax changes)
