Can I import Python's 3.6's formatted string literals (f-strings) into older 3.x, 2.x Python?

Question

The new Python 3.6 f-strings seem like a huge jump in string usability to me, and I would love to jump in and adopt them whole heartedly on new projects which might be runni

Answer 1

Unfortunatly if you want to use it you must require Python 3.6+, same with the matrix multiplication operator @ and Python 3.5+ or yield from (Python 3.4+ I think)

These made changes to how the code is interpreted and thus throw SyntaxErrors when imported in older versions. That means you need to put them somewhere where these aren't imported in older Pythons or guarded by an eval or exec (I wouldn't recommend the latter two!).

So yes, you are right, if you want to support multiple python versions you can't use them easily.
