PythonL: invalid syntax file “”, line 1

Question

When doing python3 Webhook.py (this is the file), it gives me the error: File \"\", line 1 (%X - %x) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Answer 1

This happens when anything inside {} is not valid, in a string formatted using the f string formatting prefix. Python 3.7 in my case. The upside is you get the string causing the problem on the error message. You don't get the line number, but it's still easy to figure out once you acknowledge that line number 1 is not the correct line number of the error.
