SyntaxError: invalid syntax for COLLECTSTATIC (PYTHON)

Question

I am following a tutorial on youtube for deploying a django app on DigitalOcean.

I type in: python3 manage.py collectstatic

This is the error message I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 15, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/home/mochimoko/django_project/venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 381, in execute_from_command_line

  File "/home/mochimoko/django_project/users/models.py", line 11
    return f'{self.user.username} Profile'

I know the code is right cause I got in straight from GitHub. I am a complete beginner at this. I know that indentation could be the issue here but everything looks fine to me.

Here is the code for the manage.py file:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from PIL import Image


class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.user.username} Profile'

    def save(self, *args, **kawrgs):
        super().save(*args, **kawrgs)

        img = Image.open(self.image.path)

        if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300:
            output_size = (300, 300)
            img.thumbnail(output_size)
            img.save(self.image.path)

In your Onetoonefield use related_name='user'. Then try to collectstatic — Abhimanyu Singh

change it to self.user.username, (you may get error warning) it will work correctly, — Bidhan Majhi

@BidhanMajhi Try to prevent all warnings if you can. Warnings exist for a reason: They may lead up to unexpected behaviour in the future. — JerkMan

All I was referring about IDE error due to dynamic language. I said that just because username is in User model not in Profile model so it can show no 'username' member. Not referring to any programming error, though. @JerkMan — Bidhan Majhi

You are trying to use f-string in Python 3.5 but they appeared in Python 3.6.

Change f'{self.user.username} Profile' to be '{} Profile'.format(self.user.username) or change your Python to be 3.6.
