Syntax Error when running privateGPT.py

[seeschweiler]

Hi,

when running the script with

python privateGPT.py

I got the following syntax error:

File "privateGPT.py", line 26 match model_type: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

@seeschweiler How did you resolve this? I am facing the same error on Python 3.8

Edit: fixed by using Python 3.10

[hanwsf]

if model_type == "LlamaCpp":
        llm = LlamaCpp(model_path=model_path, n_ctx=model_n_ctx, callbacks=callbacks, verbose=False)
elif model_type == "GPT4All":
        llm = GPT4All(model=model_path, n_ctx=model_n_ctx, backend='gptj', callbacks=callbacks, verbose=False)
else:
        print(f"Model {model_type} not supported!")
        exit;

revise to this will work.

Can we make @hanwsf's suggestion the default so that privateGPT will work with Python 3.8?

"match" will run only on Python 3.10 or above - the code is now newer than the installed Python. Alternative solution with upgrading Pylance (not tested)
