Am using Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 and python 2.7
./boxnote2docx

Traceback (most recent call last): File "./boxnote2docx", line 12, in <module> from yattag import Doc File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yattag/__init__.py", line 69, in <module> from yattag.simpledoc import SimpleDoc, AsIs File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yattag/simpledoc.py", line 532 return f"\"{attr_escape(value)}\"" ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Python 2.7 has been sunsetted. If you are on Mac, please try to install version 3.x.x and give it a go.

Still no joy - have you tried python3 ?

@stefski-ibm
Yes, it works with python3. Please use the requirements.txt to get the modules needed. See below for a working environment that includes python3 and needed python modules.

$ python -V
Python 3.9.7

$ pip list

When you install Python3 you need to type python3 in a Terminal prompt. How did you get python to work instead of having to type python3 ? Download this macOS 64-bit universal2 installer

There are several ways to install Python. I use pyenv, which allows you to run different versions and choose the one you want as default:

$ pyenv versions                                                     
  system
  3.8.6
  3.9.7
* 3.10.13 (set by /Users/john/.pyenv/version)
