SyntaxError: invalid syntax

See original GitHub issue

I have Python 2.7.6 running on a (somewhat) fresh install of ubuntu 14.04

$ ./letsencrypt.sh -c -d mydomain.com -t dns-01 -k 'hooks/cloudflare/hook.py'
#

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

These are the steps I took before this error occurred:

$ git clone https://github.com/lukas2511/letsencrypt.sh
$ cd letsencrypt.sh
$ mkdir hooks
$ git clone https://github.com/kappataumu/letsencrypt-cloudflare-hook hooks/cloudflare
$ pip install -r hooks/cloudflare/requirements-python-2.txt
$ export CF_EMAIL='myemail@mydomain.com'
$ export CF_KEY='cloudflare_certificates_api_key'

Actually after installing dnspython and running this:

$ ./letsencrypt.sh -c -d domain.com -t dns-01 -k 'hooks/cloudflare/hook.py'

Things seem to work. I did not uninstall dnspython3

Great, it seems you now have the packages you were missing in your previous pip list. Try running pip uninstall dnspython3 and then executing letsencrypt.sh again. Post any errors.
