Looking into my crystal ball, I see that you are correct, there is no
syntax error -- because there is no code! There might not even be a
computer. It is all an illusion brought on by lack of fresh air.

Or maybe not -- my crystal ball is notoriously unreliable. 

How about you post the FULL traceback of the error, so we can see for
ourselves if there is a syntax error or not?

e.g.

>>> x{4} = 5
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    x{4} = 5
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
