invalid syntax in python code, when running on Linux (Windows is ok)

I'm running a python code having this fragment:

logger.info("Done building vocab from corpus.")

return {word: (i, freq) for i, (word, freq) in enumerate(vocab.iteritems())}

I keep getting this message on Linux, although on a Windows machine it runs. I copied the files to the Linux server using WinSCP. I could really use some help.

return {word: (i, freq) for i, (word, freq) in enumerate(vocab.iteritems())}
                          ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

My distribution:

Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS release 6.6 (Final)
Release:        6.6
Codename:       Final

99% chance: the CentOS machine is running an old version of Python that doesn't support dictionary comprehensions. What version of Python is it running? – TigerhawkT3 Dec 29 '15 at 08:05
Looks like CentOS only comes with 2.6 at most, so there you go (dictionary comprehensions were added in 2.7). – TigerhawkT3 Dec 29 '15 at 08:07
ok, thanks @TigerhawkT3 I will upgrade and reort – user2986978 Dec 29 '15 at 14:49
That is it. Working after upgrading to Python2.7. thanks for that ! – user2986978 Jan 03 '16 at 11:53
