  • Problem with MRC

    From Geri Atricks@21:3/235 to All on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 10:35:09
    When I try starting MRC I get the following:
    ---
    Attempting to start the Multi Relay Chat (MRC) python script..

    File "/mystic/./mrc_client.py", line 89
    print "Usage : mrc_client.py hostname port"


    SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'.
    Did you mean print(...)?
    Error: mrc_client.py failed to start.
    Exiting.

    I've gone through the code line by line and can NOT find what's causing this error, and line 89 has nothing to do with a print command.
    Line 89 of that file reads: r4=random.randint(1,99)

    so, any help getting this thing working would be great. I'm running on Linux Mint btw.

    you're using python3 for a python2 script
