Syntax Error when using the new template.py

[TotalKrill]

6f044a6 breaks with syntax error on line 43 in template.py after running YcmGenerateConfig on a project

Can you explain how it's breaking? It has a syntax error in Python 3 (not 2), but my understanding was the YCM uses Python 2 anyway.

Also, what's the output of python --version on your OS?

[TotalKrill]

The output of python --version is 2.7.12, but this is because i set it manually to 2.7. I usually switch between 3.5 and 2.7 because many programs i use are not checking the python version.

The crash occurs when i try to use YcmCompleter GoTo

Also, when I build ycm, it uses python 3.5

Hi I made a temporary patch for this syntax problem, though I don't think it's perfect.
Maybe you can try it.Good luck : )

Still getting the same error. This is my build command for YouCompleteMe with some info:

./install.py --clang-completer --system-libclang
Searching Python 3.5 libraries...
Found Python library: /usr/lib/python3.5/config-3.5m/libpython3.5m.so
Found Python headers folder: /usr/include/python3.5m

I think this means that i am using the python3.5 for Ycm, but i still get the syntax error in the function LoadSystemIncludes. If i remove this and all references to it. It works.

Oh, nevermind. Will try your version, I falsely assumed it had been merged.

Edit: Your patch seems to be working @ssfdust

I am having the same problem as @TotalKrill, @ssfdust patch fixes the problem when using python3.
