"Syntax errors" regardless of python version used

[dhasial]

This is on Debian Sid, so technically unsupported regardless, but perhaps the fix will be something simple.

When using either python which seems to be the correct python version based on the README, or python3, I get syntax errors, yet they're different depending on the version of python used. I don't know python well enough yet to say why this is happening, but perhaps you'll have an idea.

python == Python 2.7.18

  File "req.py", line 11
    print = functools.partial(print, flush=True)
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

python3 == Python 3.9.9

python3 req.py
  File "/home/valence/src/KelloggBot/req.py", line 75
    match key:
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Match statements require Python 3.10 or newer:

I just changed it to if-elif statements since I am using Python 3.8

What @Egarok said... use Python 3.10 and that should fix it.

@bolshoytoster has PR #35 which should help with python 2 support.

@ChrisCoe cheers, I've fixed the 'print = functools.partial(print, flush=True)' error and removed the match statements. It should hopefully work for python2 if you clone my fork (https://github.com/bolshoytoster/KelloggBot).

I’ve merged my fork with @pws1453‘s (#25). Clone that if you need python2 support.
