To be quite honest with you, putting error code without syntax highlighting (I did that for you now using the code option 10101), any details or at least one single sentence of explanation is quite disrespectful towards a community driven by volunteers that offers free help. Please put in some effort and add the a bit of explanation. The way your questions is now, you are probably not motivating anyone to help you.

Thanks for help and kind reminding. Unable to run the sample program based on the downloaded file.I am a newer. I don't know what the reason is.

It looks like you are trying to run a python3 script with python2.

[zhangcc89]

Thanks very much. I have updated python to version3. However, the following questions appear.

  File "checkVCF.py", line 162, in <module>
    banner(logger)
  File "checkVCF.py", line 128, in banner
    print >> logger, "checkVCF.py -- check validity of VCF file for meta-analysis" 

**TypeError:** unsupported operand type(s) for >>: 'builtin_function_or_method' and 'Logger'. Did you mean "print(<message>, file=<output_stream>)"?

The script you are using hasn't been updated in 3 years, and likely is no longer supported. I can fix the error you have there, but there might be more errors afterwards.

The error message already tells you what to change...

Did you mean "print(<message>, file=<output_stream>)"?

[zhangcc89]

Thanks very much. I found a new tool to solve the problems.
