Following the documentation i run

cd test
and after i run
python setup.py develop
i get this error
File "setup.py", line 131

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The problem seems very easy. How can i fix it? Thanks in advance.
The problem is that Django - the framework that askbot is written for - does not work on Python3 yet. Python 3 is a different programming language although very close to Python 2.x.
In addition, rename the directory to something that is not test or askbot or any other python module.
Give a name to your django project that is distinct enough. With your setup python will be confusing your site with the module called test.
I try more than one time to rename the directory of installation (in "myaskbot", in "workplease", etc, etc.) but i get always the same error. What can i do? My system is archlinux.

If you need Python 3 for other applications then consider using a virtual environment.

There are definitely no syntax errors in the
