[Baypiggies] String Error Message

[Simeon Franklin]

Hey Hal -

I *strongly encourage* you not to spam many mailing lists simultaneously
with syntax questions. I'm guessing the 2015 Summer of Code mailing list in
particular is not an appropriate venue.

You might check out the https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor if
you want a list to ask questions on or try emailing individuals directly -
I'm happy to try to answer your python questions when I can.

In this case your for loop on line 10 needs a colon ":" at the end just
like like the one on line 4. Line 11 needs to be indented to be the body of
the for loop - just like you have an indented block starting on line 5.

-regards
Simeon
