f string provides invalid syntax error only on an ubuntu server












0














This code functions perfectly well on my computer, but when used on the droplet server, it provides me with an invalid Syntax Error. Why I swap from F string to %, it doesn't message the channel that I need. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this, and would appreciate any help provided.



    @client.event
async def on_message(message):
author = message.author
chan1 = client.get_channel('505801900361515008')
chan2 = client.get_channel('505801944707760138')
chan3 = client.get_channel('506194214309068800')
print (message.content)
if not message.server and message.content.startswith('apply'):
await client.send_message(author, 'Your application has been forwarded to the Department of Studies and Development! Enjoy our anime, and off topic channels while youre around!')
await client.send_message(chan1, f'{author.mention} has applied for membership, so please hurry back with a response! Content: {message.content}')
elif not message.server and message.content.startswith('diplo'):
await client.send_message(author, 'Your message has been forwarded to the Department of Investigation! Enjoy our anime, and off topic channels while youre around!')
await client.send_message(chan2, f'{author.mention} has applied for a diplomat mask, so please hurry back with a response! Content: {message.content}')
elif not message.server and message.content.startswith('req'):
await client.send_message(author, 'Your message has been forwarded to the Department of Resource Procurement! The staffers will react to the message with a green checkmark when its been processed.')
await client.send_message(chan3, f'{author.mention} has made an economic request, so please hurry back with a response! Content: {message.content}')
await client.process_commands(message)

    If the server is not running Python 3.6+ it will not support f-strings that's why it'll throw a SyntaxError. Perhaps try str.format() instead?

Your local machine is running >= python 3.6



Your droplet is running < python 3.6



F strings are python 3.6 and above.



So you can either downgrade your virtual environment in your local machine or upgrade the droplet.



Downgrading the virtual environment would probably be quicker:



virtualenv .venv -p python3.6



Then use str.format instead of f strings
