File "setup.py", line 8 VERSION = f"{VERSION_MAJOR}.{VERSION_MINOR}.{VERSION_PATCH}" SynthaxError: Invalid syntax

when I do
$ pip install openexr
--> cannot find Python.h
or if I git clone and do
$ python setup.py install
I get
File "setup.py", line 8
VERSION = f"{VERSION_MAJOR}.{VERSION_MINOR}.{VERSION_PATCH}"
SynthaxError: Invalid syntax

I tried this both on Ubuntu 22.04 as well as Ubuntu 16.04 (this one inside a VirtualBox) both using bundled Python 3.5.3 of Blender 2.79a.
