SyntaxError: invalid syntax

See original GitHub issue

Hi.

I get this error when running Sherlock:

python3 sherlock.py neilbreen -r --print-found
  File "sherlock.py", line 78
    Fore.GREEN + f"] {title}" +
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This applies to Python2, Python3, with/without arguments and sudo

Like the readme says, you have to have Python 3.6 or above.

This does keep happening. I wonder if it is possible to have an explicit check about the Python version, and give an error message that the user is using the wrong version? I see a StackOverflow description on how to do this.

This issue appears to be an environmental issue rather than a problem with Sherlock itself. It also has been hanging out for some time. So, I am closing it out now to remove the clutter.
