This is actually still failing for me. If I have:

thing = 42
print(f'hello, {thing}')

and I attempt a Rename Symbol on thing, it misses the f-string.

FYI (Info from @legnaleurc): @orn688 already wrote a PR for rope to improve the symbol replacement in f-string , that PR is still not merged though. Thanks @orn688 😃
