probably rookie error

[lordbeniel]

I'm sure I'm missing something incredibly obvious as I'm a novice here but what am I doing wrong?

after running

sudo pip install robovac==0.0.7

to install the software. and creating a simple script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from robovac.robovac import Robovac

my_robovac = Robovac('192.168.1.3', 'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF')

# Get RoboVac status
my_robovac.get_status()

When I run

python3.5 ./PyRobovac/robovac/try1.py I get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./PyRobovac/robovac/try1.py", line 4, in <module>
    from robovac.robovac import Robovac

  File "/home/user/PyRobovac/robovac/robovac.py", line 129
    return f'[FIND_ME: {self.find_me}, WATER_TANK: {self.water_tank_status}, MODE: {self.mode}, SPEED: {self.speed}, CHARGER_STATUS: {self.charger_status}, BATTERY_CAPACITY: {self.battery_capacity}, ERROR_CODE: {self.error_code}, STOP: {self.stop}]'

Try

from robovac import Robovac
my_robovac = Robovac('192.168.1.3', 'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF')

# Get RoboVac status
my_robovac.get_status()

I think the README may have the import path wrong, sorry!

that helped! thank you. I also switched from python 3.5 to 3.6 it seems that 3.5 doesnt have f-String formatting.

its working now. thank you for this, I'd been trying to work out the protobuf for ages with no success.

Ah, that's also true! I'll update the README with the correct import path and list Python 3.6 as a minimum requirement. Thanks for reporting!
