I think this is because I am using PY 3.6...maybe this issue can be defined as a py3 compatibility issue?

[almostearthling]

Of course, the symptom is exactly that: Py3 does not support the old print syntax, without parentheses and PyCLIPS was designed on Py2. I actually paused the development of PyCLIPS, and there are some forks around - I think, aimed also at porting PyCLIPS to Py3.

I tried this with python 2.7 and also with python 3 . But I am getting same error can anyone please help with that

Which one is the pip that is called? Try:

C:\Users\xxxxxxx>where pip
C:\[...]\Python-3.8\Scripts\pip.exe
C:\[...]\Python-2.7\Scripts\pip.exe

or

C:\Users\xxxxxxx>pip --version
pip 20.2 from C:\[...]\python-3.8\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.8)

In case your setting is like this, try to use the full path to the Python 2.7 version to invoke pip.

[virtiparekh]

I m using python 2.7 and pip version is 20.2 .

(pyclips) C:\Users\Virti Parekh>python --version
Python 2.7.18 :: Anaconda, Inc.

(pyclips) C:\Users\Virti Parekh>pip --version
pip 20.2.3 from c:\users\virti parekh\anaconda3\envs\pyclips\lib\site-packages\pip (python 2.7)

While installing clips, I am still getting the following error.

(pyclips) C:\Users\Virti Parekh>pip install clips
