Python error on Ubuntu 20.04

[Sanjar Afaq]

Error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 24, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: '_Environ' and 'dict'

My system:

• Ubuntu 20.04
• Using bash (default)
• System python is 3.8
• Available python(s) - 3.9, 3.10 using Pyenv available through python3 (this is not the problem afaict)

[polyipseity]

The errors are consistent with running Python 3.8.

• The first error is because merging _Environ and dict using | is only supported in 3.9: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.environ
• The second error is because waitstatus_to_exitcode is only available in 3.9: https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.waitstatus_to_exitcode

You will need to change the Python executable to point to Python 3.9 (should work) or 3.10 (recommended) using absolute paths. You could also fix your PATH or your pyenv configuration.

I have added a button next to the Python executable setting to check the Python version for this issue. (dce6ead..1521bd5) You will need to update the plugin to 3.1.0 to use it. You can use it to see whether the Python version is correct.
