Technically, no, it's a SyntaxError, because the Original Poster has used 
some sort of "Smart Quotes" characters r’‘ instead of good old fashioned 
typewriter-style quotes r'' or r"".

If you're going to ask programming questions using an email client that 
changes what you type, including smart quotes, special hyphens or other 
characters, you're going to have a bad time.
