I would be very surprised if that is the real error message you get. I would expect something like this: [steve@sylar ~]$ python test.py File "test.py", line 1 def func: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Note that the error shows the line that is bad, and puts an up-arrow ^ directly under where it goes bad. Please COPY and PASTE the FULL error. Do not re-type it from memory, summarise it, put it in your own words, or otherwise change it in any way. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
