In a Python script I call a function from rpy2, but I get this error:
#using an R module
res = DirichletReg.ddirichlet(np.asarray(my_values),alphas,
log=False, sum.up=False)
SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression
What exactly went wrong here?

sum.up is not a valid keyword argument name. Keyword arguments must be valid identifiers. You should look in the documentation of the library you are using how this argument really is called – maybe sum_up?
I guess many of us who came to this page have a problem with Scikit Learn, one way to solve it is to create a dictionary with parameters and pass it to the model:
params = {'C': 1e9, 'gamma': 1e-07}
cls = SVC(**params)
It's python source parser failure on sum.up=False named argument as sum.up is not valid argument name (you can't use dots -- only alphanumerics and underscores in argument names).
Using the Elastic search DSL API, you may hit the same error with
s = Search(using=client, index="my-index") \
.query("match", category.keyword="Musician")
You can solve it by doing:
s = Search(using=client, index="my-index") \
.query({"match": {"category.keyword":"Musician/Band"}})
I just got that problem when converting from % formatting to .format().
Previous code:
"SET !TIMEOUT_STEP %{USER_TIMEOUT_STEP}d" % {'USER_TIMEOUT_STEP' = 3}
Problematic syntax:
"SET !TIMEOUT_STEP {USER_TIMEOUT_STEP}".format('USER_TIMEOUT_STEP' = 3)
The problem is that format is a function that needs parameters. They cannot be strings.
That is one of worst python error messages I've ever seen.
Corrected code:
"SET !TIMEOUT_STEP {USER_TIMEOUT_STEP}".format(USER_TIMEOUT_STEP = 3)
