SIP Stopped Working After Update

[AndreSmith76]

After attempting to update SIP software from my Pi's SIP page, SIP no longer functions and shows the following error when attempting to run sudo python sip.py:

Trackback (most recent call last):
File "sip.py", line 21, in <module>
import gv
File "/home/pi/SIP/gv.py", line 22
ver_str = f"{major_ver}.{minor_ver}.{revision - old_count}"

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I was hoping to please get some help or feedback making my system work again? This system was running fine for 3 years until I attempted this update.

Make sure you are running SIP with python3.

You can check your default Python version with:

Code:

python --version

If you still have Python2. try starting SIP with python3 sip.py.

Dan I am getting this error with python 2.7 or python 3.4.2.  cannot get it to run. fyi I had a power outage while updating so I reinstalled SIP to no avail.

thanks, dick

When you re-installed SIP did you also update to the latest Raspberry pi OS?

I did run update and upgrade.  I also tried to run the original install it tries to run but a gpio is stuck on.

then i created a new sdcard with latest OS and SIP.  SIP wont load.  I am suspecting something is damaged on the PI

NotImplementedError: This module does not understand old-style revision codes

I am using the latest OS and Python 3.1.1

I tried setting up a new SD card with rpi OS Lite (64 bit) and installed and ran SIP without a problem on a pi model B+.

What model Pi and OS version are you running?
