Hi,

Thanks for writing StarCluster. The software will save me a lot time
setting up MPI clusters on Amazon on the fly. I just downloaded via
git using the link on the webpage.

The traceback below is probably a very easy fix. It looks like you're
missing parentheses.

Thanks,

Damian

PS: I'm following the March thread on using starcluster start -x
[other-args] to launch StarCluster over manually reserved spot
instances. I'll let you know if it works for me. :)
