'f-strings giving SyntaxError?
I am getting an error message with my Atom reader here, where it is suggesting the first print.(f"message") is delivering an error:
File "/Users/permanentmajority/Desktop/Coding/learnpythonbook.py", line 75
print(f"Let's talk about {my_name}.")
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[Finished in 0.077s]
Code:
my_name = 'Zed A. Shaw'
my_age = 35 # not a lie
my_height = 74 # inches
my_weight = 180 #lbs
my_eyes = 'Blue'
my_teeth = 'White'
my_hair = 'Brown'
print(f"Let's talk about {my_name}.")
print(f"He's {my_height} inches tall.")
print(f"He's {my_weight} pounds heavy.")
print("Actually that's not too heavy.")
print(f"He's got {my_eyes} eyes and {my_hair} hair.")
print(f"His teeth are usually {my_teeth} depending on the coffee.")

This is a python version problem.
Instead of using
print(f"Let's talk about {my_name}."
use
print("Let's talk about {}.".format(my_name))
in python2.
Your code works on python3.7.
Check it out here:
my_name= "raushan"
print(f"Let's talk about {my_name}.")

Python Interpreter causes the following issue because of the wrong python version you calling when executing the program as f strings are part of python 3 and not python 2. You could do this python3 filename.py, it should work. To fix this issue, change the python interpreter from 2 to 3.

f-strings were added in python 3.6. In older python versions, an f-string will result in a syntax error.
If you don't want to (or can't) upgrade, see How do I put a variable inside a String in Python? for alternatives to f-strings.

I think this is due to the old version. I have tried in the new version and the executing fine. and the result is as expected.

I believe the problem you are having here is down to you using python 2 without realizing it. if you haven't set it up on your machine to have python 3 as your default version you should execute python3 in your terminal instead of the standard 'python' command.
I had this problem so hopefully, this answer can be of help to those looking for it.

I think they had typed
python file.py
to run the program in the Mac or linux that runs the python 2 version directly because OS defaultly contain python 2 version, so we needed to type
python3 file.py
That's the solution for the problem python2 and python3 running command
