I have today received a yum update of Fail2Ban to 0.8.13-2.el5 However, when restarting there is an error reported in /usr/share/fail2ban/server/filterpyinotify.py The error relates to the line: Code: Select all except Exception as e: This requires an update to Python (currently at 2.4.3-56.el5 in the distribution). For now, I have amended the line to read: Code: Select all except Exception, e: But obviously the better answer would be to push the upgrade to Python which implements this syntax - but that may cause other issues
