Netmiko 3.x.x (and going forward requires Python 3.6 or greater). Netmiko 2.4.2 is the last version to support Python2.7 (or Python 3.5).

F-strings as mentioned above are one thing that will break if you try to use Netmiko 3.x.x with Python 3.5.

As you can see the SyntaxError that you are receiving happens at this line:

msg = f"Login failed: {self.host}"

This is because your Python version is 3.5 while the f-strings were introduced in Python 3.6 with PEP 498. Upgrading your Python version to 3.6 or later will resolve your issue.
