f strings have never worked

[bgenchel]

Hi,

currently have an M3 Macbook Pro Max on Sonoma 14.1
VIM 9.1 on iterm2

I've been using this plugin for a long, long time at this point though, across many macbooks and MacOS versions, and i've never had f-string formatting work ever. I have it installed as a separate plugin with vim plug, and have let g:python_highlight_all = 1.
I have also at other times have had exclusively vim-polyglot installed, which should also use this plugin. Why is this happening?

This is my full vimrc - here i'm using vim-polyglot which claims to use this repo under the hood:

" to `filetype on`, and unless we toggle it, our custom filetype detections
