Question

I’ve installed Python 3.3 on a Windows 7 machine. I wanted to try to the Bottle micro web
framework. I downloaded the bottle.py (latest version from their site) and put it in my app
folder.

When I do the first line in the tutorial, “from bottle import route, run, template”
I got this error message:

*C:\Dev>python
Python 3.3.0 (v3.3.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012, 10:57:17) [MSC v.1600 64 bit (AM
D64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from bottle import route,run,template
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

    raise exc_info[0], exc_info[1], exc_info[2]
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any suggestions how I can fix this problem and continue?

Thanks

You need to follow the bottle installation instructions.

The latest version is published to PyPI, you have an old version of the code there still, one that is not compatible with Python 3.
