Hi,
This is, as AAron suspected, caused by using an older version of
python. The finally: clause is only available in Python 2.5. This is
actually the only Python 2.5 feature we use, so I'm attaching a patch
that works around the issue by removing the finally clause and
placing its content outside the try/except block.
This should be equivalent except in the unlikely corner case that the
print statement in the except: clause throws an exception.
Give it a try and let us know how things go! :)

Cameron,
Thanks for the email. I've actually never seen that error before.
What version of Python are you using?
Thanks,
AW

I'm trying out Volatility 1.3 Beta on Linux

I quickly encountered a problem as follows:
[root@HX80722V1 Volatility-1.3_Beta]# python volatility
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "volatility", line 37, in ?
from vmodules import *
File "/usr/local/src/Volatility-1.3_Beta/vmodules.py", line 1938
finally:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The md5 checksum is correct for the downloaded file.
Is there a fix for this ?
Thanks !
