Description Matěj Laitl 2018-07-25 14:27:36 UTC

Python 3.6 introduced new string formatting syntax, f-strings: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#f-strings, e.g.

number = 42
message = f'there is {number} apples'

This doesn't seem to be supported, at least with my setup. Is there some setting/configuration/unreleased version that could help?

What linux distro is your package from? It seems like they built it against Python 3.5.

Gentoo, so it is my fault, because you can set Python version to build against and I've indeed build kdev-python against 3.5.

I'll rebuild, confirm, then close this.

Thanks for quick help, Sven!

Rebuilding indeed help.

Thanks and keep up the good work! :)
