Apple Macbook M1 Air - invalid syntax - privateGPT.py - line 26

[davidtkeane]

I am getting this error when trying to run the privateGPT.py file when inside visual studio and also when i run the file from the command line using - python3 privateGPT.py

python3 privateGPT.py
File "privateGPT.py", line 26
match model_type:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Running] python -u "/privateGPT/privateGPT.py"
File "/privateGPT/privateGPT.py", line 26
match model_type:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I am presumming I have all the other steps for install done, Did anyone else have this error at all?

I am using a Mac Air M1, with visual studio. requirements.txt installed, .env file, models folder with the model inside, I ran ingest.py and it made a db folder within the privateGPT folder. I have tried python and python3 and same error. I checked github and the privateGPT.py file is the same as mine.

I tried also to change the line match models to this and match model_type in ['LlamaCpp', 'GPT4All']: and also I used case model_type in ['LlamaCpp', 'GPT4All']: Both didn't work. Reverted back to origional code.

If I find a work around then I will post back here with the find.

Any assistance would be great! Thanks for the time you spent working this all out!

Your python version is too old.
"To use this software, you must have Python 3.10 or later installed. Earlier versions of Python will not compile."
Yours in 3.9 or earlier.
