Back to square 1.
Electrum doesn't allow me to transfer because that requires version 4.

1. Installing new Python
Source for this: https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html (Step 4)
python3 -m pip install --user pyqt5
-> Successfully installed PyQt5-sip-4.19.18 pyqt5-5.13.0

2. Installation of Electrum from Python sources
Source for this: https://electrumapp.info/#download
Downloaded and untarred Electrum-4.0.0.tar.gz
In the electrum directory, I ran: 'python3 run_electrum'
-> File "run_electrum", line 53
sys.exit(f"Error: {str(e)}. Try 'sudo python3 -m pip install '")

 ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Please help, thank you very much in advance.

Solved!

I tried Electrum 3.0 [1], and that worked with the Python that comes with  
Trisquel.

You're stuck with either looking for an older version of Electrum that will  
work with your version of Python or installing a new Python. Good luck.

Yes, you're right, and I have both python and python3 packages installed.

Let's say I want to install Electrum, after having downloaded it.

sudo python3 -m pip install --user Electrum-3.3.6.tar.gz[fast]
then I get back (among other things):

Processing ./Electrum-3.3.0.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Error: Electrum requires Python version >= 3.6.1...

Python 3 is also available in Trisquel.
