If it's a SyntaxError, we really need to look closely at what you've typed
in, as well as what Python is complaining about.  The problem here is that
there are many different ways a SyntaxError can occur! We don't want to
enumerate them all, because you'll get bored, and it won't help.  *grin*

So let's try not guess the problem: show us what you typed, and we can
start from there.


Talk to you later!
