venj:SOAPpy-0.12.0 venkata$ python setup.py install

Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 8, in from SOAPpy.version import version File "/Applications/SOAPpy-0.12.0/SOAPpy/init.py", line 5, in from Client import * File "/Applications/SOAPpy-0.12.0/SOAPpy/Client.py", line 46 from future import nested_scopes SyntaxError: from future imports must occur at the beginning of the file

Hey please suggest me how to solve this error.

Answer 1

That looks like a bug in SOAP.py from future must be at the beginning of the file SOAP.py bug see python language docs

Answer 2

Had the same problem.

You have to "future import" to the beginning of everyfile where it's stated.

There should be a patch for that.
