Post by: jonald_fyookball on May 12, 2014, 04:36:50 PM
I'm trying to compile Electrum from source
on Windows 7.  Any ideas ?


>python electrum
  File "electrum", line 115
    print "Daemon not running"
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I think the newest version of Python is not compatible
with the electrum source.

If so, why isnt this info on the electrum site?
What version should I use?

Electrum requires Python 2.7. If this info is not on the website, it should be added ASAP.
