I keep getting the below syntax error when trying to use fstring in a DataBricks Python notebook.

What am I missing?

Cell:

%python

test = 'yay'
f'This works, {test}!'

Results: SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Running this same code in a Jupyter notebook returns just fine.

EDIT 1:

%python

import sys

sys.version

'3.5.2 (default, Nov 12 2018, 13:43:14) \n[GCC 5.4.0 20160609]'

I'm not sure what Databricks is, but what version of Python is it running? F-strings are semi-new. – Carcigenicate Jul 08 '21 at 22:00

Check what version it's using. You can get the version by first doing `import sys`, then look at `sys.version`. – Tom Karzes Jul 08 '21 at 22:01

`3.5.2`... and now I see that they are not available until `3.6`.. Case closed. – ericOnline Jul 08 '21 at 22:29
