After hashing this out off-list, it looks like there is an additional
issue: one of Jesse's plugins, suspicious.py, defines its own version
of _EPROCESS, which is also defined in the example3.py plugin. You'll
know if you hit this problem if you see a message that looks like:
Exception: Object _EPROCESS has already been defined by <class
'example3._EPROCESS'>
The best solution for now is to move example3.py somewhere else.

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,

http://lists.volatilityfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/vol-users I'm trying out Volatility 1.3 Beta on Linux
(RedHat Enterprise 5).
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 !
Cameron
