SyntaxError: invalid syntax when i import avro in python3

Question

I just want to import avro in python3. And I get error just import avro schema.

import os
import string
import sys

from avro import schema
...
# others are not matter

And I can only read

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ktz/IdeaProjects/HadoopExample/src/main/python/chap4/writer_pairs.py", line 5, in <module>

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Sorry for that I`m first in Python..

Answer 1

如果您使用的是Python3，则需要使用avro-python3而不是avro

Answer 2

You are using python2 version of avro code in python3. if you run the same using python2 then there won't be the error otherwise install python3 compatible avro.
