I'm trying to build a regex with a raw f-string in a Sublime Text 3.2.2 plugin:

operatorSymbols = "==|!="
print(fr'\s*({operatorSymbols})\s*')

Desired output:

\s*(==|!=)\s*

I get the error:

    print(fr'\s*({operatorSymbols})\s*')
                                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What is wrong with it?

Wrong Python version? – tripleee Nov 20 '19 at 11:48
My guess too @tripleee – that the user is using an older version of python – Yaakov Bressler Nov 20 '19 at 11:49

Specifically, f-strings were introduced in Python 3.6. For compatibility with earlier versions, stick with `%` or `.format()`. – larsks Nov 20 '19 at 11:49
which python version are you using, unable to reproduce it in python 3.6.8 – cerofrais Nov 20 '19 at 11:50
Could reproduce it with Python 2.7.3 but not with 3.6.8. Should be fixed by using newer Python version! – Adrian Nov 20 '19 at 11:54
Turns out that Sublime Text 3.2.2 plugins use Python 3.3 – Adamarla Nov 20 '19 at 12:48
