SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

Same problem here, if you take a look at the code, this error does exist in the main branch of the original repository, and I am unaware of some python magic to print without parentheses, so this I likely some bug with them

i had this same issue trying to install it on my mac with brew, what's the workaround at this time ?

[paulwetzel]

@SeleDreams Using brew edit, you can edit the original code before running installation, if you add the parentheses at this point, you should have a working version.

You need to update the brew install script to use Python2
Run brew edit openni2 and on line 32 update the following

system "python", "Packaging/Harvest.py", "out", "x64"

to

system "python2", "Packaging/Harvest.py", "out", "x64"

@paulwetzel running into the same issue, could you elaborate a bit on the fix? I am using the brew edit openni2 but I seem to be editing a different file, i can't find where the () is missing.
