Running WFTM in recent versions of Python

I am having problems, when I run this, I get an error:

File "./WhatFools.py", line 209
       as = alignmentSelection.keys()
        ^
   SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Are you running Python 2.6 (or higher)? "as" became a keyword in 2.6, so it can't be used as a name for a variable (giving you that syntax error). One solution is to use an older version of Python. The other is to rename that variable to "ak". You'll have to do this in three different places in that method. It should look something like this:

def usage(self, exit=1):
       ak = alignmentSelection.keys()
       ak.sort()
       rs = roleMap.keys()
       rs.sort()
       print 'Usage: %s [-a%s] [-p%s] [-D]' % (sys.argv[0],
                                               string.join(ak, ),
                                               string.join(rs, ))
       sys.exit(exit)

The patched link throws up a "403 Forbidden", does anyone have a replacement? --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 11:08, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
