Python 3 syntax error question

Show all headers | View raw

I've tried to install PySVG in a Python 3 setting, and I get a few 
errors on the build. Most are easy to fix, but this one I can't 
explain or fix:

<error>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "builders.py", line 12, in <module>
    from pysvg.shape import *
  File "C:\Python32\lib\site-packages\pysvg\shape.py", line 91
    def moveToPoint(self,(x,y)):
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax 
</error>

The moveToPoint method occurs three times in the file, with identical 
signatures. The other two are not showing up as errors, though since 
they occur later in the file, that may not be indicative. 

I don't see anything erroneous in this line. The syntax error often 
comes from the previous line, but I've moved this method around and 
it has always failed on this line and no other, regardless of what 
went before. 

I'm new to Py3, so maybe there's some obvious thing I'm not seeing 
here. Does anyone have any suggestions?
