Python Forum

I followed a tutorial in setting up a script to where users in a chat could choose the outcome of playing a game. Think Twitchplayspokemon. Now I followed everything and had it working on my main PC with Windows 10 and Python 3.8.5. I then tested it on my older Windows Vista PC running Python 2.7.18. Now this is where the error comes in that I get. This error appears in the "autohotkey.py". I will post the python and arrow message I receive below. Remember, everything is the same on my main PC this works on, so I'm not sure if there is a syntax difference in the 2.7.18 version of Python. The traceback is below the Python.

Python 2.* does not support f' string formatting. There are probably some other differences that would be easier to see if you wrapped your code in python tags.

Ah I messed that up. I apologize. I will fix that.

Can anyone direct me on how to edit my original post? The "Edit" button seems to have disappeared.

Last post wouldn't let me edit, so I redid. Thank you to Deanhystad for alerting me to the tags.

The README in the repo for the library says it requires 3.6 or later: https://github.com/spyoungtech/ahk. If you can't install Python 3.x on that machine (is the version of Windows too old?), then perhaps try an older version of the library if there's one that supports 2.x. If not, I don't think there's much you can do.
