Reposting a question from our support channel in case others run into this:

root@splunk:~# splunk-appinspect --help

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/bin/splunk-appinspect", line 5, in <module> from splunk_appinspect import main File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/splunk_appinspect/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from . import environment_validator File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/splunk_appinspect/environment_validator.py", line 15 f"Python version {version_detected} was detected." ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Here's my current Python version:

root@splunk:~# python --version
Python 3.5.3
