Ezio Melotti added the comment:
The colon is the first invalid char, for example this is valid python and works:
>>> things = ['a', 'b']
>>> things.append('c'
... for a in things)
>>> things
['a', 'b', <generator object <genexpr> at 0xb76dacfc>]
In your case Python expects a genexp like things.append('c' for a in things),
and when it finds the ':' it gives error.
If you use e.g. a 'while', you will see the error earlier:
>>> things = ['a', 'b']
>>> things.append('c'
... while True:
File "<stdin>", line 2
while True:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
