Error "invalid syntax" when running help50 #274

I have installed help50 on a Ubuntu 16.4 Windows Subsystem for Linux with the command pip install help50 but when I run for example help50 make buggy0 it shows the following message:

File "/home/mike/.local/bin/help50", line 39
    proc = pexpect.spawn(f"bash -c \"{' '.join(shlex.quote(word) for word in args.command)}\"", env=os.environ)
                                                                                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Do I need a specific version of python?

My actual version is Python 2.7.15+

I have the same problem. I am running Ubuntu 19.04. I have tried installing with both pip and pip3.

I'm afraid help50 requires Python 3.6 or above!
