I need to use a code written by someone else in Python a while back, and I get a SyntaxError: invalid syntax in this line:

tfileServices = {n: s.fileName for n, s in process.services.iteritems() if s.type_() == 'TFileService'}

I am not really sure what is wrong about it, so can someone tell me why is it not working (it supposedly worked for him)? Thank you! (I am not sure what to google for to find out what is wrong, as I am not sure how the actual syntax should look like)

which version of python are you using? dictionary comprehensions didn't exist in 2.6 ? – Jean-François Fabre Jul 19 '17 at 13:10
@Jean-FrançoisFabre introduced in 2.7 – DeepSpace Jul 19 '17 at 13:11
I have closed the question. your syntax is OK, but you have to adapt your code. not very difficult. – Jean-François Fabre Jul 19 '17 at 13:11
I have 2.6.6 actually... – Silviu Jul 19 '17 at 13:11
@Bobo This is the problem. As Jean-François Fabre suggested, dictionary comprehension is only available from 2.7 – DeepSpace Jul 19 '17 at 13:12
I have added a link to help you transpose your code to 2.6 – Jean-François Fabre Jul 19 '17 at 13:14
@Bobo : `dict((n, s.fileName) for n, s in process.services.iteritems() if s.type_() == 'TFileService')` – bruno desthuilliers Jul 19 '17 at 13:15
