Three likely possibilities, and one unlikely one: (1) When you are running from a file, you are accidentally using the wrong Python interpreter and trying to use Python 2 by mistake. (2) When you are running from a file, you have invisible control characters in the file, or the encoding is not set correctly, and are getting a SyntaxError due to the control characters, nothing to do with annotations. (3) There is some other syntax error in your file. And the unlikely one: (4) There's a bug in the interpreter. If you would care to inspect the syntax error, you will see that when Python finds a syntax error, it points at the offending token, or just after it, using a ^ caret. That may give you some hint as to what the issue is. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
