Python bug?

[DjCrays]

root@raspberrypi:~# curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/master/install.py | sudo python3 File "<stdin>", line 65 print(f'{path_pihole} was not found') ^ SyntaxError: invalid

is what i get when i try to use your Script (btw all of them ^^ Could you tell me why they are not working? :3 Thank you and Marry Christmess. :3

Hmm that is an odd one! Do you definitely have Python 3 installed?

What is the output if you run: python3 --version

The only reason I ask is because I'm pretty sure f strings were introduced in Python 3 and that's what seems to be throwing a syntax error.

If you don't have it installed, try running these commands before running the script again:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-dev build-essential
sudo pip3 install setuptools wheel

Merry Christmas to you, too! :)

Ah, okay - There's your problem. F-strings were introduced in Python 3.6 so you need to find a way to upgrade your version (I've not done this before). I'm assuming this is the case as you're on Raspbian Stretch which is not the latest version I believe the version I have installed is 3.7.3

Well, that is an minor problem i think. Just build it with: https://gist.github.com/dschep/24aa61672a2092246eaca2824400d37f

and now i just have to add .6 to the end of any command :D Thank you. :)

Hello, I have just experienced this same issue myself when trying to install. I was hoping that there would be an issue already posted before that would help me troubleshoot, and I did find this one and resolved the issue in similar fashion.

However, other users might not be as motivated as I to search through Closed Issues to figure out why things aren't working for them. I would suggest you add a Troubleshooting section to the main Readme that addresses this issue and points people towards a method for installing Python 3.6+ on their Pi.

Hi :)

This is a good idea - Perhaps I will link directly to this issue from the main readme page. I will add this to my to-do list.

Thanks for the suggestion!
