[python] print(this,end=' ') is highlighted as syntax error

[geo7]

The first instance of

print(something,end='')

Is highlighted as a syntax error, all others in the file are fine

[cpaulik]

For me if I switch to a python 3 environment then this is not highlighted as an error.

In python 2 this is highlighted as a syntax error as you explained. It seems that the flycheck checker stops after the first invalid syntax error. If you enter any invalid syntax before your print statement it will no longer be highlighted.

I think your syntax checker is not the python 3 version.

[geo7]

right, so I'm running python 3 REPL and stuff but flychecker is using the system default for python version?

Maybe the other issue will iron this one out at the same time!

[cpaulik]

Yes if pyflakes is not installed in your python 3 environment it will only find the one of the system installation.

[geo7]

oh right cool - I've just installed that in the venv

[syl20bnr]

Is it ok ?

[geo7]

nope - still have the issue

[StreakyCobra]

@geo7 What's the current status of this issue?

[geo7]

@StreakyCobra still present for me.

Simply writing

print("hellooo", end=' ')

should reproduce

[StreakyCobra]

I can't. What does the error say?

[nixmaniack]

It says following.
SyntaxError: invalid syntax [E901]

I assume it's related to python 2/3 being not detected properly as cpaulik has mentioned.

[StreakyCobra]

This is an issue with flake8 as I saw. What does flake8 --version gives you?

[nixmaniack]

On my system

2.2.4 (pep8: 1.5.7, pyflakes: 0.8.1, hacking.core: 0.0.1, ProxyChecker: 0.0.1, mccabe: 0.2.1) CPython 2.7.5 on Darwin

[StreakyCobra]

CPython 2.7.5 Here is your problem :-) Either:

1. Install a more recent version of flake8; or
2. Disable the flake8 checker in flycheck

[nixmaniack]

2.7.5 is for legacy reasons!

Anyhow, it's a non-issue for me! The OP should take a note of above instructions and report if it fixes.
