Python Version 2.7.13, OpenVMS V8.4-2L1

the Python Code

from vms.rtl.lib import getdvi
from vms.dvidef import DVI__FULLDEVNAM, DVI__FREEBLOCKS, DVI__LOGVOLNAM
disk = "SYS$SYSDEVICE"
# get the full device namme (node name and device name)
devnam = getdvi(DVI__FULLDEVNAM, device_name=disk)[2]
# get the logical name of the volume
logvolnam = getdvi(DVI__LOGVOLNAM, device_name=disk)[2]
# get the number of free blocks on the disk
freeblocks = getdvi(DVI__FREEBLOCKS, device_name=disk)[1]
# print results
print 'disk %s:\n\tlogical name %s\n\t%d free blocks' % (devnam, logvolnam, freeblocks)


The Python Debugger output

File "out/tracer.py", line 310

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any help is appreciated

Sorry, we did not test tracer on Python 2.7
It will be fixed in the next release.

version with this fix is released

If you are on a IA64 box, it would be a good idea to upgrade to 2.7.18 or as you are using V8.4-2L1 to 3.10a0 which contains the same vms modules.
