I got the following syntax error at the following line when I run my program in jython:

except Exception as detail:

SyntaxError: mismatched input 'as' expecting COLON

but on python is it ok? What is wrong? I am trying to use the stanford pos tagger api (java) in my python program. Are there other ways?

There are 2 current versions of Jython: the 2.5 version is the stable one, and 2.7 is a release candidate. The as syntax for except appeared in CPython 2.6 and thus will be supported in Jython 2.7; I guess you're using Jython 2.5,

You can use the older (Python 3 incompatible) except syntax in Jython 2.5:
