invalid syntax #16

Closed marc1uk closed 2 years ago

I'm getting the following trying to parse an ics file:

cat ~/mycal.ics | ics2rem
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/path/to/ics2rem", line 7, in <module>
    from remind import ics2rem
  File "/home/marc/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/remind.py", line 60
    self._reminders: dict[str, dict[str, Any]] = {}
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is there a minimum python version? I'm running python 3.5.3

The minimum Python version is currently 3.9, version 0.17.0 should work with Python 3.5, you can install it with:

pip install remind==0.17.0

Sorry for causing the issue, Python 3.9 is from 2020 and 3.5 from 2015, so I thought it was time to renovate.

Cheers Jochen

Thanks Jochen! It might be worth putting that on the requirements list. Not all linux distriubtions tend to keep their repositories up to date, and not all users update their OS on a regular basis. ;) Unfortunately with remind 0.17.0 i'm now getting a different syntax error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/path/to/ics2rem", line 7, in <module>
    from remind import ics2rem
  File "/home/marc/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/remind.py", line 62
    cmd = ['remind', f'-ppp{self._month}', '-b2', '-y', '-df',
                                        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I think this one's due to the much-loved f-strings not being supported yet. (people really seem to love their f-strings, this happens a lot....)

jspricke commented 2 years ago

Ah true, 3.5 is even older, maybe v0.14.0 works but not sure. Which OS do you use that it has such old versions? Also, which version of Remind do you want to use with it?

marc1uk commented 2 years ago

I rolled back to 0.14, but it's now just hanging. It complained if ~/.reminders didn't exist (not sure if that's supposed to be a file or directory, i tried making both), but then just hangs indefinitely appearing to do nothing. :man_shrugging:

I'm using Debian 9. Debian 10 was initially released July 2019, so I wouldn't call it especially ancient. I suppose that depends on whether you're the type to update to every new release as soon as you can. Personally I have little incentive to do so, though.

jspricke commented 2 years ago

Debian 11 was released in 2021. Debian 9 has no security support since 2020 and will loose long term support in June 2022:

I don't intent to maintain software that is so old, sorry.

marc1uk commented 2 years ago

ok, no worries, maybe i'll try python-dateutil
