invalid syntax in BioC

[kmurphy902]

Hi,
I am trying to use kindred on MacOSX. I have a successful install but when I try to run import kindred in python 2.7, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/kindred-2.2.2-py2.7.egg/kindred/__init__.py", line 20, in <module>
    from kindred.loadFunctions import loadDoc,loadDocs,loadDir,iterLoadDataFromBioc

    def __init__(self, refid: str, role: str):
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried updating BioC but it is at the latest version. Thank you in advance!

Hey, it looks like a recent update to BioC makes it incompatible with Python 2. I've updated Kindred to use an older version while I figure out the best way around this. Try updating to v2.2.3:

 pip install --upgrade kindred

Let me know if you've got any issues.

Thanks so much for your quick response! Everything is working now.
