Question

I have installed yugabytes DB in linux machine and when i try to start the cluster using yugabyted and getting error as invalid syntax. Please help how to resolve this issue.

Python version using - 2.6.6 Linux Version - 2.6.32-754.31.1.el6.x86_64

Python 2.6 is something like 12 years old now. You're going to have a hard time finding *anything* that will actually work with it. — jasonharper, Sep 21 '20 at 20:00

This is a Python 2.6 issue where multiple contextmanagers in the same line are not supported - https://docs.python.org/2.7/reference/compound_stmts.html#the-with-statement. While the fix for this particular error should be simple, Python 2.6 is quite outdated at this point - retired in 2013 according to https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-269/ - and I would recommend upgrading to Python 2.7.
