@SergeBallesta Why do they show different versions? f-strings were only implemented on versions 3.6 and later yes? — Ganesh

It looks like you are using ipython. It uses its own version of Python (here 3.5.6) while your path uses a 3.7.4 version. Having multiple versions of Python is normally not a problem provided you are aware of it and know which tool uses which version. — Serge Ballesta

I don't have enough reputation to comment so I'll do it here. I believe that your error is that in line 2 before the print statement, you added an unnecessary space (indent). Python doesn't like unnecessary indents.

Does this work for you?

my_name= "raushan"
print(f"Let's talk about {my_name}")

Edit: Apparently both the lines have unnecessary indents.
