SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[suurjaak]

What was the command that resulted in this error?

[ulcuber]

@suurjaak main inputscope
Running inputscope-* works

[suurjaak]

Could you post a screenshot?

Can you tell me more about your setup:

1. What operating system are you using?
2. How was InputScope installed?

[ulcuber]

@suurjaak
1.

• OS: Gentoo Base System release 2.8 x86_64
• Kernel: 5.10.76-gentoo-r1

2. pip install --user inputscope
   And from source pip install --user ./ same output

[suurjaak]

Where do those stack traces originate from? It sort of looks like they're from InputScope's Python console?

[ulcuber]

#17 (comment)
That seems like error communicating with subprocess

#17 (comment)
That one probably doing too much in signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, lambda *a, **kw: self.stop(True)). Too heavy handler for signal. Usually they only setting flag like self.running = False

[suurjaak]

Do I understand the situation correctly:

1. On running inputscope, the SyntaxError gets printed, but the program itself continues to run?
2. On pressing Ctrl-C, you get the stack trace?

[ulcuber]

@suurjaak

1. Yes, continues but not tracks events.
2. Yes.
   Program itself shows icon in tray and able to open web server. Main problem affects only listener.

[suurjaak]

Fixed in the freshly released v1.6.
