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

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! :)

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.
