Getting syntax error in __init__.py file of kivymd

I downloaded the kivymd and kivy module and I'm using it in a python application. When I run my code this error appears:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "c:/Users/SA/Desktop/mhtiq-test/AI_PROCTOR-FYP-/main.py", line 10, in <module>
     from kivymd.app import MDApp
   File "C:\Users\SA\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35\lib\site-packages\kivymd\__init__.py", line 30
     fonts_path = os.path.join(path, f"fonts{os.sep}")
                                                    ^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Can anyone tell how I can fix this?

f-strings were added in Python 3.6; you are using Python 3.5. You need to upgrade your Python installation to use this code.

To make it compatible with Python 3.5, use the format method:

fonts_path = os.path.join(path, "fonts{}".format(os.sep))

Note that os.path.join appears to use / specifically, not os.sep, so doing this could produce somewhat of a hybrid path. Otherwise, you might also consider

fonts_path = os.path.join(path, "fonts", "")

to let os.path.join produce the trailing separator itself.

The pathlib module may also be an option, as it was introduced in Python 3.4.
