invalid syntax error

Question

My code is:

if any(s in attrs["show"] for s in ("Apple Mac OS","Intel Mac OS")):

the error is:

 if any(s in attrs["show"] for s in ("Apple Mac OS","Intel Mac OS")):
                            ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You have an older version of Python on the machine that won't run it. Like, a really old version; this feature was added in Python 2.4, I believe.

Python 2.3 or earlier; python 2.4 gives a NameError for any instead.

2.4 according to wikipedia ... The expression could be turned into a list-comp ... (that goes back to 2.0) (reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_comprehension#Python )
