SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When trying to run de command dedupe_geojson example1.geojson example2.geojson -o /outputs I'm getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/dedupe_geojson", line 16, in
from lieu.address import Address, AddressComponents, Coordinates
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/lieu/address.py", line 3, in
from lieu.coordinates import latlon_to_decimal
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/lieu/coordinates.py", line 27
latitude_dms_regex = re.compile(ur'^(-?[0-9]{1,2})[ ][ :\xb0\xbad][ ]([0-5]?[0-9])?[ ][:'\u2032m]?[ ]([0-5]?0-9?)?[ ][:?"\u2033s]?[ ](N|n|S|s)?$', re.I | re.UNICODE)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried to fix it by replacing the "ur" to "r" in coordinates.py and the next error I get is

Word index file: deduped/info_gain.index
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/dedupe_geojson", line 272, in
map_file = open(temp_filename, 'w')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'deduped/near_dupes'

I already tried to create the folder and file but the issue persists.

I am using the first examples in documentation in the following format
https://data.whosonfirst.org/387/021/307/387021307.geojson

I got the same error (invalid syntax) on a fresh install, using python 3.7. Ended up just switching to 2.7, and that worked for me.

pcrglennon, thank you for your reply. I'll try that :)

I had no luck with Python 2.7 unfortunately.
