(solved) python error on startup

  Went to startup linuxcnc today and am getting the following error

Found file(REL): ./custom.hal
initialize: module '/home/peter/cnc/taigmesa/python/toplevel.py' init failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Python plugin configure() failed, status = -11
Python plugin required for prolog=, but not available: 78:REMAP = M6 modalgroup=6 prolog=change_prolog ngc=change epilog=change_epilog
Python plugin required for epilog=, but not available: 78:REMAP = M6 modalgroup=6 prolog=change_prolog ngc=change epilog=change_epilog

emc/task/emctaskmain.cc 3084: can't initialize interpreter 

If I comment out the
REMAP=M6 modalgroup=6 prolog=change_prolog ngc=change epilog=change_epilog
from my ini file all is well, but obviously no tool change.
With it in it eventually starts up after the error above but is unusable.

Chacking against git history show no significant changes that I can see.

Linuxcnc version 2.9.3
UI is Gmoccapy
Python version is 3.7.3

Unsure where to start.

Also just realised that when I start with the remap line in the ini file commented out the error still occurs, without the 2 lines after "Python plugin configure() failed, status = -11"

As the error message indicates:

Is invalid syntax for python 3. Possibly you imported the 'nc_files' folder from an older version of linuxcnc?

You might want to replace your "nc_files/remap_lib" folder with the one available here:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/2.9/nc_files/remap_lib

Thanks that fixed it. Unsure what exactly happened, but happy to have it fixed

 

as an aside, how do i mark this as answered ??
