syntax error

[danielemarinazzo]

Mac M2 OS 14.3.1 (23D60)

when running "muselsl" command we get a syntax error message (corresponding to the colon after "device")

File "/Users/USERNAME/miniconda3/envs/eeg-notebooks/lib/python3.7/site-packages/muselsl/muse.py", line 90
if ((device := self.adapter.connect(self.address, retries))

That syntax requires Python 3.8+: NeuroTechX/EEG-ExPy#277 (comment)

The incompatibility with Python 3.7 was introduced in this recent commit: eb92e1a

Thanks! So the official installation instructions should mention 3.8? Or will something else break if we use that version?

[ErikBjare]

I think the syntax should be changed to support Python 3.7 again since that's trivial.

Not up-to-date with things in EEG-ExPy, but I think it might be pretty tied to Python 3.7 still due all the shenanigans in PsychoPy: https://www.psychopy.org/download.html#linux

Ok, thanks. So there's a solution to use the package as it is? If necessary bypassing muselsl and using brainflow only (even iv on some laptops only the former works for some reason)?
