I don't know if it's any help,but the line mentioned in the error message; File "./pyfinances.py", line 18 > print "Your expected earnings for %s is %d" % > (financeLogs['month'], > financeLogs['total']) > ^
doesn't seem to be properly formatted.There should be a comma after the closing quotation marks,a closing bracket after the first variable and a % sign before the next i.e: > print "Your expected earnings for %s is %d", %(financeLogs['month']),% > financeLogs['total']) Hope above works!
