New issue 83 by scott.te...@gmail.com: Mac OS X 10.6 earworm.py
returns "SyntaxError: mismatched tag: line 6, column 2"
http://code.google.com/p/echo-nest-remix/issues/detail?id=83

earworm.py will no longer process any MP3 file I give it, after I've
upgraded from Mac OS X 10.6.5 to 10.6.8. It returns the error "SyntaxError:
mismatched tag: line 6, column 2".

I've tried earworm.py in the version 1.4 (python 2.6) package as well as an
older 1.3a (python 2.6) package and both return the same error.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start up my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.8
2. Install latest Echo Nest Remix API for Mac OS X 10.6, version 1.4
3. Open Terminal and run export ECHO_NEST_API_KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" (with
my key)
4. Run earworm.py on an MP3 file and watch it fail!
5. Here is a transcript of the output:

> export ECHO_NEST_API_KEY="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
> python /usr/local/share/echo-nest-remix-examples/earworm/earworm.py -d
> 900 Baila_Me2.mp3

Is there any way I can help get earworm.py to work again on OS X?

Actually I must have been running Mac OS X 10.6.3 or 10.6.4 the last time I
was able to use earworm.py successfully, in late August 2010 (that was Echo
Nest version 1.3a).

Any hope of getting earworm.py fixed someday to work with newer versions of
Mac OS X?

It's been working for me... But hold tight as we are updating some of that
stuff as we speak. Then let's see what's still broken for you.
