On Ubuntu 19.10, where python 2.7 is still the default, I get:

$ perf script report flamegraph
  File "/usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/flamegraph.py", line 46
    print(f"Flame Graph template {self.args.template} does not " +
                                                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Error running python script /usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/flamegraph.py

Installing libpython3-dev doesn't help.

$ perf script -s lang

Scripting language extensions (used in perf script -s [spec:]script.[spec]):

  Perl                                       [Perl]
  pl                                         [Perl]
  Python                                     [Python]
  py                                         [Python]

Should there be a python3 in that list?

Thanks,
