to GAM for G Suite

GAM 4.40

Python 2.7.14 64-bit final

google-api-python-client 1.6.4

oauth2client 4.1.2

Darwin-17.5.0-x86_64-i386-64bit x86_64 (Mac OS 10.13.4)

When attempting to run any GAM command, I get the following error message:

File "/Users/cpaine/bin/gam/gam", line 1

SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xcf' in file /Users/cpaine/bin/gam/gam on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

I got this message when I first installed GAM on my new MacBook, but reinstalling seemed to resolve the issue and it worked for several weeks. Now issue has returned and reinstalling no longer resolves it. Any advice will be much appreciated.

What command are you running? You have a compiled Gam binary installed that has Python wrapped in it so you should not be including python as part of your command.

Aha! I was calling my own Python ("alias gam='python ~/bin/gam/gam'"), as I was used to doing on my last computer with an older version of GAM. Changing that to "alias gam=~/bin/gam/gam'" did the trick. Thanks!
