SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Malkhafaji95]

I'm trying to test out the sample code provided on Github and I'm getting a syntax error. I have a feeling this might be a pathing issue but pyjnius is in the environment path.

the words jnius and autoclass are underlined in red. When i hover over it, it was " Unresolved reference 'jnius'"

Code:

from time import sleep
from jnius import autoclass

Hardware = autoclass('org.renpy.android.Hardware')
print 'DPI is', Hardware.getDPI()

Hardware.accelerometerEnable(True)
for x in xrange(20):
print Hardware.accelerometerReading()
sleep(.1)

---

error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/snap/pycharm-community/214/plugins/python-ce/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 39, in
from _pydevd_bundle.pydevd_comm import CMD_SET_BREAK, CMD_SET_NEXT_STATEMENT, CMD_STEP_INTO, CMD_STEP_OVER,

Thanks in advance

It looks like the path PyCharm is using points to an environment that does not have pyjnius installed. Either you didn't install it correctly or there is an issue with PyCharm. Most likely the later. Sometimes IDEs won't automatically find the Python environment you intend and you need to manually point it to the right one. I have this issue from time to time with my IDE. I don't use PyCharm so I can't help you with that part. Good luck.

I ran the code using the terminal and i got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "java.py", line 2, in
from jnius import autoclass
ImportError: No module named jnius

the environmental paths are :

/home/malkhafa/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

and pyjnius us install at :

./.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages

• your syntax error is from using python2 print syntax, rather than python3, (python2 needs parenthesis), we need to update the example code indeed, but i would assume a python dev would know that.
• your ide probably defines a virtualenv, so doesn't see globaly installed packages.
• this code won't work on desktop, it won't be able to find the relevant java classes, and to run them, as these are android-specific, to test this code you need to package your code for android using p4a/buildozer.
