You must be using Python 3 where this syntax is invalid. The module must've been written for Python 2. — ivan_pozdeev, Feb 27 '16 at 10:31
Yes, the library works only with Python 2, see [requirements](http://pythonhosted.org/python-weka-wrapper/#requirements). — fracpete, Feb 28 '16 at 20:27
There is an [experimental Python3 version](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-weka-wrapper3) of the library available now. — fracpete, May 29 '16 at 21:57

At this stage, you need Python 2.7 and at most javabridge 1.0.11 for the python-weka-wrapper library (1.0.14 does not work!). You can install javabridge 1.0.11 as follows:

sudo pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/j/javabridge/javabridge-1.0.11.tar.gz

javabridge 1.0.14 can be used now as well. – fracpete May 29 '16 at 21:58
