I find it hard to believe that this is the entire exception traceback.
This is what a traceback looks like:


>>> dosomething wrong(20)  # oops, space in the function name
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    dosomething wrong(20)
                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

See how much information is given by the traceback? If I just posted
"SyntaxError: invalid syntax" to the newsgroup with no further
information, what do you think the chances are anyone would guess the
cause of the problem?

So, how about trying again with the complete traceback?
