Hello, I am getting an error while trying to run pynq on my system which has an alveo u200 card. I am using anaconda base environment and have run “pip install pynq” without any errors. But when I run any command like “pynq --version” or “pynq get-notebooks” I get the following error message: (base) nmahmud@fit.edu@fac-alevo-m1:~$ pynq get-notebooks Traceback (most recent call last): File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/bin/pynq”, line 6, in from pynq.\_cli.cmd import main File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pynq/ **init**.py”, line 4, in from . import pl\_server File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pynq/pl\_server/ **init**.py”, line 18, in from .embedded\_device import EmbeddedDevice File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pynq/pl\_server/embedded\_device.py”, line 11, in from pynqmetadata.frontends import Metadata File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pynqmetadata/ **init**.py”, line 5, in from .models.bit\_field import BitField File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pynqmetadata/models/ **init**.py”, line 4, in from .addrmap import AddressMap File “/home/nmahmud/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pynqmetadata/models/addrmap.py”, line 6, in from .metadata\_object import MetadataObject File “”, line 1 (self.name=) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax **Additional information:** System Configuration OS Name : Linux Release : 5.15.0-107-generic Version : #117-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 26 12:26:49 UTC 2024 Machine : x86\_64 CPU Cores : 32 Memory : 31827 MB Distribution : Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS GLIBC : 2.35 Model : ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus v2 XRT Version : 2.14.354 Branch : 2022.2 Hash : 43926231f7183688add2dccfd391b36a1f000bea Hash Date : 2022-10-08 09:49:53 XOCL : 2.14.354, 43926231f7183688add2dccfd391b36a1f000bea XCLMGMT : 2.14.354, 43926231f7183688add2dccfd391b36a1f000bea ## Devices present BDF : Shell Platform UUID Device ID Device Ready\* [0000:03:00.1] : xilinx\_u200\_gen3x16\_xdma\_base\_2 0B095B81-FA2B-E6BD-4524-72B1C1474F18 user(inst=128) Yes _pynq install log:_ **(base) nmahmud@fit.edu@fac-alevo-m1:~$ pip install pynq** Requirement already satisfied: pynq in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (3.0.1) Requirement already satisfied: nest-asyncio in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynq) (1.6.0) Requirement already satisfied: setuptools\>=24.2.0 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynq) (41.4.0) Requirement already satisfied: cffi in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynq) (1.12.3) Requirement already satisfied: pynqmetadata\>=0.0.1 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynq) (0.1.2) Requirement already satisfied: pynqutils\>=0.0.1 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynq) (0.1.1) Requirement already satisfied: numpy in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynq) (1.17.2) Requirement already satisfied: pycparser in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from cffi-\>pynq) (2.19) Requirement already satisfied: pydantic in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynqmetadata\>=0.0.1-\>pynq) (2.5.3) Requirement already satisfied: jsonschema\>=3.2.0 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynqmetadata\>=0.0.1-\>pynq) (4.17.3) Requirement already satisfied: tqdm in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynqutils\>=0.0.1-\>pynq) (4.36.1) Requirement already satisfied: python-magic\>=0.4.25 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pynqutils\>=0.0.1-\>pynq) (0.4.27) Requirement already satisfied: annotated-types\>=0.4.0 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from pydantic-\>pynqmetadata\>=0.0.1-\>pynq) (0.5.0) Requirement already satisfied: importlib-metadata;

Update: I was able to resolve the issue by creating a new anaconda environment and updating its python version to 3.8. The issue seems to be the python version in the base anaconda environment which was 3.7, was not working. ---
