Fstrings don't seem to work in IronPython/GHPython

sad

It’s more of a minor annoyance, but it would be nice if IronPython didn’t have strange caveats like this.

Hi @filmdp,

Formatted string literals are a Python 3.6 feature. Rhino.Python, which uses IronPython, is based on Python 2.7. Here is what’s available for string formatting in IronPython.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dale,
I hadn’t realized that IronPython 3 was still in some kind of alpha! Moved to Python 3 eight years ago and I was late to the party.
