Thanks, it appears the syntax I use is only available in python 3.10 or higher.

Hmm, makes me wonder why the heck I'm on 3.9 on this machine. I've got 3.13.2 installed on it in homebrew, but for some reason this venv is 3.9. I'll fix it, thanks for the heads up.

It wasn't too hard to support 3.9. Fixed in #172
