Python eyeD3 Syntax Error on Windows

Question

Need some help here.

Been on this for hours, i'm trying to install/use eyeD3 - a Python based ID3 editor on my Windows 10 machine and I've been getting this error,

C:\Python\Python27\eyeD3\bin>python eyeD3
  File "eyeD3", line 3
    python -m eyed3.main "$@"
                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I opened the file and its content is,

#!/usr/bin/env bash

python -m eyed3.main "$@"

I have searched and searched and it's as if i'm the first person to face this problem, i have no experience with Python and i can't understand how an integer will cause a syntax error.

I have tried installing the package with pip, uninstalling the package installing with python setup.py install using Python 2.7 as recommended, trying Python 3.1, even using quotes on the "eyed3.main" yet no success.

Any ideas please?

eyed3.main appears to be a bash script rather than python. – user5219763 Apr 11 '17 at 17:17 — user5219763, Apr 11 '17 at 17:17

you can try in a terminal :

easy_install -U pip

and then :

pip install eyeD3
