i am receiving the same error
windows 10
python 3.7.0

error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Bradford Haas]

i just confirmed it is happening with all lines which are split using the "\".

[Bradford Haas]

for example in ccp_util.py:
` return (self.network<=val.network) and \

                (self.broadcast>=val.broadcast)`

if i change to a single line as follows, the error goes away:
return (self.network<=val.network) and (self.broadcast>=val.broadcast)

Python 3.7 is not tested or supported right now; I can confirm that something changed about Python3.7, but I don't know what yet.

I also confirmed that I can "pip3.exe install -U ciscoconfparse" and there is no issue with Python3.6 under Windows. Please download Python3.6.x from python.org:

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

[Sagar Patil]

It is working fine with Python 3.6.x.

Thank you.

[Benjamin Tayehanpour]

Perhaps this should be mentioned in the README, which currently states in two places that Python 3.2+ is supported.

I am seeing the same issue under a fresh install of Python 3.7.0, under Windows 10 x64; ciscoconfparse was installed using pip.

It seems that during download, something (pip?) adds a new, empty, line after every single line of code in the .py files (the sshot in the original issue report shows this very nicely). While this is not a problem for most lines, it does cause errors on lines that were split using ''.

I have managed to fix this manually by removing the empty lines in the ciscoconfparse files (in lib\site-packages\ciscoconfparse).

Amazingly, not all of the files have been affected. Some of them (like protocol_values.py, or models_asa.py) were OK. Others, however (ciscoconfparse.py, models_cisco.py, models_nxos.py, ccp_abc.py, ccp_util.py, etc) were exhibiting the issue.

I just downloaded Python3.7.1 on x64 (Windows 10), then ran pip3 install -U ciscoconfparse. I had no problems with 3.7.1.

Please note: Before I installed 3.7.1, I completely uninstalled and deleted the original Python 3.7.0 windows directory. In my case, Python3.7 was installed in "C:\Users\mpenning\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37".

Please try uninstalling Python 3.7.0, delete the residual directories, then reinstall with Python 3.7.1.

[Chirag Vyas]

for example in ccp_util.py:
` return (self.network<=val.network) and \

                (self.broadcast>=val.broadcast)`

if i change to a single line as follows, the error goes away:
return (self.network<=val.network) and (self.broadcast>=val.broadcast)

Fresh installation did not work for me. Removing "/" from couple of files worked for me

I tried 3.7.0, 3.7.1, 3.7.2

[Mike Pennington]

I installed Python for Windows 10 x64 version 3.7.2... then, I used pip3 to install ciscoconfparse.

I still cannot reproduce the problems you're asking about...

@mpenning
Surprisingly, even i am not able to reproduce it.
This time it not giving any error for the below syntax
return (self.network<=val.network) and \ (self.broadcast>=val.broadcast)
Last time it was not liking this ' \ ' multi line syntax. When i removed the multi line and put it in single line it was working.
Anyways, now i think it is working with multi line as well. So, i would say i am good. Thank you very much to look into it.
