Syntax error on any command using #20

Closed dnilasor closed 4 years ago

dnilasor commented 4 years ago

I'm getting this error when I try to convert a file, or even view the man page of the md_to_email script. Dependencies installed. Is this code compatible with python3?

*****-MacBook-Pro:md_to_email ******$ python email_gen.py issue2.md File "email_gen.py", line 45 out_file = Path.cwd() / f'{in_doc.stem}_email.html' ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Which version of python are you using? I am using f strings in that line so you need at least python 3.6

Otherwise you could change that line to use .format() to name the file name.

Does that help?

Just ran into this issue myself, realized it was because I didn't call up the proper version of python.

If you're on macOS, you'll have to use python3 instead of just python when running the script in terminal. Like this:

python3 email_gen.py sample_doc.md

Thanks for confirming. I am going to close this out.
