Please compare your original line with the line above and note the
differences.  That'll account for the syntax error, which appears to
have been introduced by your email client.

This is what I'm using:

for item in lst:
        if item.startswith(('Mon','Tue','____Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'__))__:
                dict[item] = []
                saveItem = item
        else:
                dict[saveItem].append(item.____strip())

gives:
 File "gcalcli_agenda_test.py", line 39
if item.startswith(('Mon','Tue','____Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun'__))__:
                                                                      ^
