I am trying to get pywbem working in Python 3.2 (it works fine in 2.6) but the build fails on this part of code in mof_compiler.py:

  File "pywbem-0.7.0\mof_compiler.py", line 1341
    print s
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It’s a macro, defined like this:

def _print_logger(s):
    print s

I don’t understand why this is invalid, please explain how to do the same in Python 3.2.

Note: I have little or no experience with Python.

PS: I have already done some small changes to the code for 3.2 like
changing

except CIMError, ce:

to

except CIMError as ce:

based on Lennart Regebro’s answer here are some other changes I found (placing them here since it may be useful for others).

exec "import %s as lextab" % tabfile -> exec ("import %s as lextab" % tabfile)
raise ValueError,"Expected a string" -> raise ValueError("Expected a string")

    That’s not a macro, it’s a function definition, and in Python 3 the print statement is now a function. So do print(s) instead.

    The list of changes between Python 2 and Python 3 is here: http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html
    It’s not so easy to read, but I don’t know if there is a better one online (although books exist).

    If you are going to use Python 3, you would probably do good to get a Python 3 book. There are a couple of them out now. Or at least refer to the Python 3 documentation: http://docs.python.org/release/3.2/ It has a decent tutorial.
