"SyntaxError: invalid syntax" from running latest diff-cover about diff_cover HOT 5 CLOSED

@Bachmann1234 Sounds good. Thanks Matt! Someone else had updated the version of diff-cover (from some significantly earlier version) without me realizing it. The release of 1.0.7 seems to have just been a coincidence. Thanks for maintaining a great project that continues to be very valuable to our team!

Oh jeez. I'm sorry to cause you all issues on a weekend....

Im a bit shocked my CI did not catch this. Ill take a look right away... (I have to see if I still support python2.6 officially actually...)

from diff_cover.

Yeah, looking over this. I dropped 2.6 support a while back which would explain why CI would not have caught the error... though I am a tad skeptical that this is our first use of 2.6 invalid syntax.

but let me do a quick check to confirm

from diff_cover.

Ok, yeah

So python2.6 support broke around november of 2017 and I decided it was not worth continuing to support it.

If upgrading to 2.7 (or 3 ::insert true but annoying pitch here::) is not an option try pinning to https://github.com/Bachmann1234/diff-cover/releases/tag/v1.0.6

Hope that helps!

This is a dead issue but talking somewhere I just realized there is a fairly easy work around if you wanted you update diff cover without updating your other python stuff

Diff cover is a tool not a library. So it's not like it would break your code to remove diff cover from the dependencies of your project and have a separate and more modern python interpreter installed just to run tools.

Your call if it's worth it but just thought I'd put it here for the record
