        if not os.path.exists(txt_fn):
            print 'text file {} does not exists'.format(txt_fn)
            continue

Error:

 print 'text file {} does not exists'.format(txt_fn)
                                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I am currently running python 2.7, so most likely issue i can think of is inconsistency with the version as the syntax might be in python 3.0 not supported but couldn't find a proof or fix it.

I think you are using Python 3 to execute the Python 2.x code. – thefourtheye Jan 23 '18 at 10:58
Any adjustment you can think of to properly migrate that code section. – user9127040 Jan 23 '18 at 11:00
Call print like a function -- `print(...)` – khelwood Jan 23 '18 at 11:02
python2: print 'x', python3: print('x') – Justinas Marozas Jan 23 '18 at 11:03
Tested on 2.7. No errors in the code. – Psytho Jan 23 '18 at 11:07
