For most Python programmers, this is a matter of moments to solve. Run
the program, get a SyntaxError, fix it. Non-interesting event. (Maybe
even sooner than that, if the editor highlights it for you.) This is
why you really need to start yourself a testbox. DO NOT PLAY ON YOUR
LIVE SYSTEM. This is sysadminning 101. And Python programming 101: The
error traceback points to the error, or just after it.

Get to know how error messages work. This is not even Python-specific.
*Every* language behaves this way. You look at the highlighted line,
if you can't see an error there you look a little bit higher.

You should not need to beg for help for such trivial problems. This is
the mark of a novice. You ought no longer to be a novice, based on how
long you've been doing this stuff. You ought not to behave like one.
