I get a syntax error when I try to use the bandcamp-dl package from github to download a full-album. Please note I am using Anaconda with Python 3 on Windows.

To install the package in Anaconda, I followed the instructions from Conda: Installing / upgrading directly from github

  1. Activate your conda environment source activate myenv

  2. conda install git pip

  3. pip install git+git://github.com/iheanyi/bandcamp-dl

Next I followed the instructions in the wiki to download a full -album https://github.com/iheanyi/bandcamp-dl/wiki/How-To-Use-%22For-Dummies%22

  1. bandcamp-dl https://sdoggingsworth.bandcamp.com/album/snacks-hugs-and-rock-n-roll

I run the following code in anaconda prompt. 

import bandcamp_dl
bandcamp-dl https://sdoggingsworth.bandcamp.com/album/snacks-hugs-and-rock-n-roll

and get this syntax error

bandcamp-dl https://sdoggingsworth.bandcamp.com/album/snacks-hugs-and-rock-n-roll File "", line 1 bandcamp-dl https://sdoggingsworth.bandcamp.com/album/snacks-hugs-and-rock-n-roll ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax`

Issue: Full album is supposed to download but I get a syntax error.

You're trying to run this inside a python file. It is a command-line utility, not a library. From the github page:

bandcamp-dl is a small command-line app to download audio from BandCamp.com. It requires the Python interpreter, version 3.4 (or higher) and is not platform specific.

It needs python to run, but should not be run from a python file. Use your command-line to run 

bandcamp-dl https://sdoggingsworth.bandcamp.com/album/snacks-hugs-and-rock-n-roll

and it should work
