SyntaxError: f-string: unmatched '['

[emmamarkle]

I copied this code from the Shiftshadow website and keep getting this error...

Code copied from website:

from swiftshadow import QuickProxy
from requests import get

proxy = QuickProxy()
resp = get('https://checkip.amazonaws.com', proxies={proxy[1]: proxy[0]})
print(resp.text)

Error message

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from swiftshadow.providers import Providers

    proxy = [f'{proxy['host']}:{proxy['port']}',proxy['protocol']]

Have started to look into the issue.

Fixed this issue by updating my python to 3.12.x

fixed this issue by replacing ' ' with "" in host and port :
proxy = [f'{proxy["host"]}:{proxy["port"]}',proxy['protocol']]

if you want to use in colab do this:

!pip install swiftshadow
!sed -i "s/proxy = \[f'{proxy\['host']}:{proxy\['port']}',proxy\['protocol']]/proxy = \[f'{proxy\[\"host\"]}:{proxy\[\"port\"]}\',proxy\[\'protocol\']]/g" /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/swiftshadow/providers.py
