While it makes sense here to have answers that show problems caused by other kinds of valid syntax, this is an example where the version of Python used causes the syntax not to be valid. This question, fundamentally, is about code becoming invalid because of other parts of the code. –
Use the command line, not the Python shell (DOS, PowerShell in Windows). C:\Program Files\Python2.7\Scripts> pip install XYZ. If you installed Python into your PATH using the latest installers, you don't need to be in that folder to run pip. Terminal in Mac or Linux. $ pip install XYZ.
In my system variables, I have specified python to be C:\Python27 (I have other versions of Python installed on my computer as well). I thought this should be enough to run python test.py in the command line, but when I do so I get this: File "<stdin>", line 1 python test.py ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
14. You need to be in the specific folder where pip.exe exists, then do the following steps: open cmd.exe. write the following command: cd "<Path to the python folder>". or in my case, i wrote. cd C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts. then write the following command.
Python does not allow empty blocks, unlike many other languages (since it doesn't use braces to indicate a block). The pass keyword must be used any time you want to have an empty block (including in if/else statements and methods). For example, if 3 > 0: print('3 greater then 0') else: pass. Or an empty method: def doNothing():
Python's syntax for declaring an empty list is names = [], not names[]. Once you've declared the list and put some items into it - e.g. names.append('John Smith') - you can then access items in the list using the names[] syntax - names[0] for the first element in the list, for example. If you're having this kind of trouble with basic language ...
As suggested by Josh Lee in the comment section, that kind of string interpolation was added in Python 3.6 only, see What’s New In Python 3.6 (here it's called "PEP 498: Formatted string literals"). However, you seem to be using Python 3.5.2, which does not support that syntax.

"Syntax" refers to the rules and structures of a language, normally spoken, but also in programming. – ApproachingDarknessFish. Jan 11, 2013 at 18:35. 2.
Python - invalid syntax for loop. ... File "match.py", line 2 for x in myList: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I am developing a script in python and while I am trying to compile it from the terminator/terminal i always get this error, but I cannot understand where is the syntax error? File "_case1.py", line 128. print ('#####') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Then I just change the position of the sentence and what I get is..
