Python3.5/http/client.py SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Question

I am a beginner in python. Unfortunately, I just deleted the:

    ..Python3.5/http/

directory.

To fix that, I downloaded the same from https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/master/Lib/http

But when I run any script that needs the content of the deleted folder, I get this error

    File "/usr/lib/python3.5/http/client.py", line 1063
        chunk = f"{len(chunk):X}\r\n".encode('ascii') + chunk \
                            ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What is the syntax error and how can I fix this ?

Thanks in Advance

f-strings are new in Python 3.6. You try to run Python 3.6 code with Python 3.5. — Matthias

Try github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.5/Lib/http, or just reinstall it properly — jonrsharpe

The line that is throwing the error is using the new 'f-string' syntax introduced in Python 3.6. You are trying to run it with Python 3.5 which does not support this feature.

To fix this you could either redownload the files from 3.5 branch or just reinstall Python using the installer.
