sim667 I think it's just that you're using python 2 and the f-strings came in with python 3.

Oh maybe. I'll try running it with python 3. Thanks

I'm still getting the error (line 44 for me as I've edited the blacklist, also the ^ is under the last ' ........ its out of alignment when I copy it here.

 python3 playlist_generator.py

	logger.debug(f'GET_EPISODES: Show Blacklisted: {show.title}')

No weird characters/white-space at the trailing end of the line?
Might not have come across when pasting into the boards.

Ah I think whats happened is that it requires python 3.6..... So I've got that installed now, but when I try and run it with that it can't find plexapi which it needs..... I've installed that with pip but its installed into the 2.7 installation, so I'll have to try and work out how to install it into the python 3.6 install.

 

[sim667]

Very nearly there, I'm getting a problem with some of the api files its using for plex

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "playlist_generator.py", line 141, in <module>
	main()
  File "playlist_generator.py", line 136, in main
	plex.playlist(title=args.name).delete()
  File "/home/username/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plexapi/server.py", line 331, in playlist
	return self.fetchItem('/playlists', title=title)
  File "/home/username/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plexapi/base.py", line 140, in fetchItem
	raise NotFound('Unable to find elem: cls=%s, attrs=%s' % (clsname, kwargs))
plexapi.exceptions.NotFound: Unable to find elem: cls=None, attrs={'title': 'Random Season, Next Unwatched'}

 

[sim667]

Sorted it, but of course its adding multiple episodes from the same show, so its not quite as random as I'd hoped haha

Just seen this thread now, but for future reference: I've been using pyenv for managing versions of python and it's really great.

$ pyenv install 3.7
$ pyenv local 3.7

Now anything I run in that directory will use 3.7 by default (without needing to use python3 or pip3)

You can also set it globally, too, with

$ pyenv global 3.7

And then override the global version on a directory by directory basis.

 

[sim667]

I looked at pyenv, but couldn't quite get my head around it...... I need some more time to play

 

[iamwithnail]

I think if you're looking at environments, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper are better/more usable than pyenv.
