Hi everybody,

During the porting of Zope2 to Python2.6, I am stuck with a syntax error in the module AccessControl, which is given below.

def reorder(s, with=None, without=()):
                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

in line 56 of /home/zope/ztrunk26/lib/python/RestrictedPython/Utilities.py.
The same code when run in python2.4 and python2.5 didn't give any syntax errors. Can anybody suggest  the reason for this syntax error in python2.6.

I'd say, "with" is now a keyword.

http://docs.python.org/ref/keywords.html

btw, shouldn't this already give a warning in 2.5?

Cheers
