SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Hi there, is there a space between the "f" and the single quote in your file? If so, that is likely the issue.

There was no space from the original git clone of course.

I am not a programmer but I put a space there because I thought it was a syntax or typo. Same error.

Ah, okay. What character is the ^ under the print statement pointing at?

BurnhamG commented 5 years ago

I'm sorry, I also realized that you may have the wrong version of python. What is the output if you type python --version on the command line?

teddymills commented 5 years ago

Sorry about that.

It was on a server that was offline.

It is Python 2.7.16

Not a problem. The script was written for Python 3.6 and later, so that's why you're seeing the SyntaxError. I'd try typing python3 --version on the server to see if Python 3 is available. If so, and the version is 3.6 or later, you can just use python3 instead of python to run the script.
