syntax error

[rhaynes74]

Hi - I hope things are well. I wanted to try the newest version, so I cloned the repo from github, unfortunately I get an error:

python setup.py develop
File "setup.py", line 57
"""
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is it possible that I am missing something?

Hi, I think you are running this in a python version < 3.6.

Quite likely! python management is always such a mess! Sincerely, Dr. Ronald D.

OK, glad that that fixed the issue!
I know python versioning can get confusing. You could take a look at the FAQs where I wrote a tip to avoid dealing with virtual environments once you have installed the package:
