I had the same problem and here is the fix.

In mediaproxy.py and proxydispatcher.py change anything that says from "optparse import OptionParser" to "from optik import OptionParser" and make sure you have the optik module for python installed.

optparse is only available in python2.3

$> diff mediaproxy.py.old /etc/ser/mediaproxy/mediaproxy.py

21c21 < from optparse import OptionParser ---

from optik import OptionParser

$> diff proxydispatcher.py.old /etc/ser/mediaproxy/proxydispatcher.py

35c35 < from optparse import OptionParser ---

from optik import OptionParser

Hello list. I have a question on How to Start Mediaproxy server. When i start mediaproxy from the console i obtain the following error:

[root@sipproxy mediaproxy]# ./mediaproxy.py File "./mediaproxy.py", line 84 print >>sys.stderr, "Mediaproxy error: %s. Exiting." % why ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

however i have installed Python2.3 [root@sipproxy mediaproxy]# python python python1.5 python2 python2.2 python2.3

When i start mediaproxy with the next lines it works ok :

[root@sipproxy mediaproxy]# python2.3 mediaproxy.py

So i made a test and i started mediaproxy with the original python.

[root@sipproxy mediaproxy]# python mediaproxy.py File "mediaproxy.py", line 84 print >>sys.stderr, "Mediaproxy error: %s. Exiting." % why ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

And i obtained the same initial error. My question is : Is there a way to force mediaproxy to start with the pyhton2.3? and therefore make mediaproxy start with %./mediaproxy.py and pyhton2.3

Hope that someone can help me here.
