[Tutor] What's the invalid synax? Error message and code supplied.

[python-tutor@toddmaynard.com]

I'd count the parenthesis on the prior line:


option = int(raw_input('Option (1,2,3,4,5,6,9): ')
while option != 9:


Also when you notice that you are copying and pasting the same line over and 
over, it may be time to think about reorganizing the code a little bit (Once 
you have it working).

Happy Debugging
