Issue while running the executable.

[kghimire09]

Hi,
I'm trying to use svtyper on my mac and after installation when I try to run the executable I get this error:

% svtyper
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/kshitizghimire/miniconda3/bin/svtyper", line 5, in
from svtyper.classic import cli
File "/Users/kshitizghimire/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/svtyper/classic.py", line 416
print '--------------------------'
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('--------------------------')?

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Identical error here with current version 0.7.1. Installation was fine, see below.

I'd appreciate any help.

Setting the shebang of the svtyper executable to a python3 binary solved this issue. Or installing svtyper in an environment where which python points to a python3 installation.
Please consider updating the README where python2.7.x is listed as a requirement.

@joehagmann Could you elaborate on how you fixed this? Did you manipulate the shebang at /Users/kshitizghimire/miniconda3/bin/svtype?

I had the same issue. I believe it is a python version issue. I have python 3, but I believe SVTyper requires v 2.7. So I did the following:
Create a virtual environment with Python 2
virtualenv -p /path/to/python2/bin/python2 venv

Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

Install svtyper within the virtual environment
pip install git+https://github.com/hall-lab/svtyper.git

Run your svtyper command within the virtual environment
svtyper -B input.bam -S input.splitters.bam -i output.vcf > output_genotype.vcf
(NOTE: I got the message "Warning: --split_bam (-S) is deprecated. Ignoring input.splitters.bam"

Deactivate the virtual environment when done
deactivate
