Looks like this might be it. In your earlier post the error reported is in ex26:-

: lisi at Tux:~/Python/LearnPythonTheHardWay$ python ex26.py
:   File "ex26.py", line 10
:     def print_first_word(words)
:                               ^
: SyntaxError: invalid syntax
: lisi at Tux:~/Python/LearnPythonTheHardWay$
