SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Is there anything I can do about this?

[edit by admin: formatting]

It looks like you've installed a Python 3 library for Python 2; the syntax for variadic arguments changed between those versions.

You should use the pip and python commands that are related to the version of Python that you want to run; for example, use pip3.8 to install a package for Python 3.8, and python3.8 to run it.

That's exactly what I did:

Everything worked after: pip install PyTelegramBotAPI == 2.2.3 Thank you for your cooperation.

OK, glad to hear you got it working.
