(Please quote the person you're replying to, rather than simply
quoting your own original post - it helps to provide context. Thanks!)

The next thing to try would be to add the colon at the end of the
"except" clause, as has already been suggested, and then to post the
latest code (preferably all of it - if it looks like too much, it's
worth shortening the code, rather than posting a snippet) and the full
traceback.
