f string interpolation syntax error python3.6 - django-models

Question

Getting syntax errors on f string interpolation lines in my models.
Set-up venv using python3.6 and so not sure why this is happening.
from django.db import models

Answer 1

You could solve this by doing the following:
Class BookInstance
def __str__(self):
"""String for representing the Model object."""
return '{0} ({1})'.format(self.id, self.book.title)
Class Author
def __str__(self):
"""String for representing the Model object."""
return '{0}, {1}'.format{self.last_name, self.first_name)
You can get more information about Format in the documentation
