Title: [Linux] Electrum-3.2.4 is ok but Electrum-3.3.x don't run [RESOLVED] Post by: Sandro kensan on January 29, 2019, 07:01:07 PM I had an old version of Electrum: Electrum-3.1.2 and I upgrade it to the last version but don't run. The last version that is ok for my linux box is: Electrum-3.2.4. This is the error:
Code: [@localhost Electrum-3.3.0]$ python3 run_electrum I'm not a python coder but the code at line 53 is weird, is it correct or my version of python (python3) is not compatible? The code in 3.2.4 version is this and works fine: Code: sys.exit("Error: %s. Try 'sudo pip install <module-name>'"%str(e)) The option "f" before strings in a function argument is not compatible with my python. Any help o workaround?

If your distro has that then install it otherwise stay with 3.2.4. Note that 3.2.x branch won't receive further updates so you will have to upgrade eventually. See if there's a newer version of your distro or wait until the electrum appimage is released:

My linux box is up to date and It is installed python 3.5.3. I stay with Electrum 3.2.4 until the new packet arrive in my distribution repository. I'll check the update from time to time. I suppose the next python version will be the 3.6.0.

Python is widespread used so I cannot upgrade the package without inconvenience. I could compile python from source and then exec ~/phyton electrum.run but I wait.
