On the other hand, if this is Python 2.x, I have no idea. Next time,
please paste the actual error, not paraphrased. The error message
includes a traceback. and a pointer to where in the line the error was
detected. If it's pointing at the end of the second token, you must be
running Python 3.x
And since you're using that annoying googlegroups, see this:

Hi Dave,
There aren't any emails in the Cc slot so I imagine that part is fine, I will
definitely edit the extra quotes though I made the mistake of thinking it was
just google being google.
Exactly. And remember, the list is comp.lang.python, while googlegroups
has tried to pre-empt it by bridging. Most of us get to it either
through the nntp server at gmane.org or via email subscription at
python-list-requ...@python.org
For reference , I'm running Python 3.x.

Parentheses, not quotes. print() is a function in 3.x
The full code is:
def phi_m(x,m):
rtn = []
for n2 in range(0, len(x)*m - 2):
n = n2 / m
r = n2 - n * m
rtn.append(m * x[n] + r * (x[n + 1] - x[n]))
print 'n2 =', n2, ': n =', n, ' r =' , r, ' rtn =', rtn
rtn
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
where the second apostrophe in 'n2 =' is marked in orange. Thanks to everyone
who's helped out so far, hopefully with some experience I'll be able sort out
any syntax issues that come my way.
Don't paraphrase. Just copy/paste it into your email message. And I'm
assuming you know to run things from the terminal window, and not from
IDLE or something else that messes up the error messages. Your comment
about 'orange' doesn't sound promising.
As Ian pointed out, you have no return value in this function. You
calculate something called 'rtn', but never use it. The last line
accomplishes nothing, since rtn is neither assigned nor returned, nor
passed nor... You probably wanted:
return rtn
