git - Invalid syntax in python script for pre commit hook -

this question has answer here:

• syntax error on print python 3 [duplicate] 10 answers

i using following python code hook pre commit hook jshint when execute git commit -m "commit comment" shows error

file ".git/hooks/pre-commit", line 29         print error                   ^ syntaxerror: invalid syntax

here code

#!/usr/bin/env python  import os, sys  """ checks git commit jshint. checks staged files """ def jshint():      errors = []      # staged files     f = os.popen('git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=acm')      file in f.read().splitlines():          # makes sure we're dealing javascript files         if file.endswith('.js') , not file.startswith('node_modules/'):                     g = os.popen('jshint ' + file)              # add errors files             error in g.readlines():                 errors.append(error)      # got errors?     if errors:         i, error in enumerate(errors):             print error, #### <----- line 29          # abort commit         sys.exit(1)       #     sys.exit(0)   if __name__ == '__main__':     jshint() 

i don't know python , cannot find correct syntax.

if python installation indeed python 3 (which probable these days) change line to:

print(error, end=" ") 

for backwards compatibility can add following imports:

from __future__ import print_function
