The error message from Python is quoting what the interpreter read/saw from
the script file it was running.  If it quoted no colon, then there was no
colon in the python file read by the interpreter, at the time that it tried
to run it.  Your job is to figure out how this has happened.  Do you maybe
have several copies of the script lying around in different folders?  Were
you maybe editing the the file (and keeping it open in the editor) while
running it from a command prompt every so often and did you maybe not save
the change before running the script (so that there may have been a
discrepancy between the script on disk that was run by the interpreter and
the script in your editor window)?

Cheers
