SyntaxError with older Python version

When running Ceyx, I'm encountering this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./osm2png.py", line 307, in <module>
    osm2svg.render(size, height, outfilepath= outfile)

SyntaxError: expected path separator ([)

I'm getting this on a machine with Python 2.6.6 (from the Ubuntu 10.10 repositories), whereas 2.7.2 works fine. A bit of experimentation shows that the error is triggered for a way that is missing in a relation. With the newer version, Ceyx will print "WARNING: Missing way 39613023 in relation. Dropping relation" in this situation. It seems that etree, where the exception occurs, has a different version (1.2.6 vs. 1.3.0) in the different Python versions, which might cause the different behaviour.

Am I doing anything wrong or does Ceyx need Python >= 2.7, rather than >= 2.5 as stated in the instructions? --Tordanik 06:53, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Maintenance of source code

Please note that despite the original software source is gone, I have a software based on this and I maintain a fork of the code, which is now linked on the Wiki page. Despite having the "out-of-date" note, this software still 100% compatible with OSM data and works well. CeyX provides a very easy way to create PNG images (or tiles) from OSM data - assuming you have Python 2.x. If someone would consider updating this to Python 3, please help me. (Unfortunately the necessary GTK libraries are not ported to Python 3 as I understand.) Kempelen (talk) 10:45, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
