Research direction

Reproduce the report in a Python 3.8 virtual environment by running transcrypt -r -c autotest from the automated-tests Transcrypt entry point. Compare the result with Python 3.7.5, where the report says it works, and trace the dashed_numbers NameError; done means the autotest command runs without that error.

Description

New user... just installed Python 3.8.0 for the purpose of installing Transcrypt.
Working in a virtual environment.
Followed the instructions on the first page https://www.transcrypt.org/docs/html/installation_use.html. Got this:

This seems to stop me doing these autotests. Presume at the current point that this is not that important. Not clear where "dashed_numbers" comes from: is it a Transcrypt module?

Is this a Python 3.8 issue perhaps?

LATER

I installed Python 3.7.5, set up a virtual env.

Things worked... no complaint about "dashed_numbers".
