I am getting the following error while trying to do a fresh install of groovy on my mac (10.7.5) with homebrew:

Any suggestions?

Looks like pyparsing switched its default version to py3k only:

I guess you will have to install version 1.5.7 explicitly:

$ sudo pip install pyparsing==1.5.7

I haven't run into this, but I assume that's because I already have pyparsing installed from before this change.

Yes pyparsing needs to be version 1.5.7, but I needed to run the following commands to get it to work:

easy_install pyparsing==1.5.7
easy_install pydot

since the rosdep install for pydot would get its own (incorrect) version of pyparsing.

Thanks!

To kind of sort out what @William and @Mike Bosse posted, I had to run:

$ sudo easy_install pyparsing==1.5.7
$ sudo easy_install pydot
$ sudo pip install pyparsing==1.5.7
