execfile() no long exists in Python 3 so chances are you are trying to run a Python 3 program with Python 2. Try running the script explicitly under Python 2: python2.6 p4convert-cvs.py You may have inadvertently done a "make install" with Python 3.2 that has created a link from "python" to "python3.2". Later versions of Python 3 are a little more careful about reserving "python" for Python 2 and "python3" for Python 3, although some distributions (notably Arch Linux) do it differently. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
