SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm on RHEL 5 and I finally have taboot executing after a lot of effort troubleshooting. It's a terrible show stopper bug. I yum installed it from the EPEL repo and you would think that since you yum installed the command, it would just work right? Well, not with taboot.

The problem was, the syntax in taboot was coded for python v >2.4 but it wants v2.4. So, I had to go replace all of the "as e" errors with ",e".

Apparently, this "as e" vs. ",e" has to do with the version of python.
