First, don't reply to me, reply to the group.  That might mean
choosing reply all.

So, your first problem is that the dictionary isn't closed.  This is
causing the error at line 6

fix that and find your next error.  It looks like there are lots of them

With such a small file you would do better to just post the code
directly.  That way if people see problems they can point them out in
the body of the reply

good luck
