I'm guessing that you are trying to run  this from the
Python interactive prompt (>>>)?

In fact, you should run it from an OS shell prompt (you
don't say which OS but in Windoze thats a CMD prompt,
in MacOS the Terminal App and in Linux whichever of
the many Terminal apps you use...)

The clue is that you are getting a syntax error - which is
usually from Python, but the command begins with 'python'
which is how you call the interpreter from the OS.

I suspect the phrase "...enter the following command on python:"
is a little misleading, it should say something like
"enter the following command at an OS shell prompt"
