I am learning Python3 and I am facing some issue with the use of format inside a print method.

Here is my problem :

age = 31
print(f"You're age is {age}")

This is not working as I get a "Syntax Error". However, I do not understand where is the syntax error since this code has been fully working for me few days ago.

I also tried this :

age = 31
print("You're age is {}".format(age))

And this has been working perfectly.

Any idea what could be the problem ?

Are you sure you're using Python 3.6? I think not... – Chris_Rands Nov 20 '17 at 12:30
Hello, I launch my script from Terminal by typing : python3 my_script_name.py – Guillaume Nov 20 '17 at 12:31

type `python3 -V` – Chris_Rands Nov 20 '17 at 12:32
it returns 3.5.2 – Guillaume Nov 20 '17 at 12:33

@Guillaume f-strings don't exist in Python 3.5. So that is your problem. – khelwood Nov 20 '17 at 12:34
@khelwood it seems you are correct. I am very surprised because I thought I had Python 3.6 installed and that this code was working before. – Guillaume Nov 20 '17 at 12:46
@Chris_Rands you seem correct. I feel this is the same problem as mine ! – Guillaume Nov 20 '17 at 12:48
It seems I have conflict between python 3.5.2 and 3.6 as I got an error when I tried to update to 3.6. I need to investigate on that now. – Guillaume Nov 20 '17 at 12:50
