Question

I get a syntax error in the following code:

if value[0] == "ta" or "su":
        num_var = len(value)
        i = 0
        while value[i][0] != "-" and i <= num_var:
            if i == 0 and value[0][0].isdigit(): 
                f3["var_%s" %i] = VARFD[[value[0].split("/")[1]]
            else: 
                f3["var_%s" %i] = VARFD[[value[0]]
            f4["val_%s" %i] = "T"
            i += 1

it claims that the syntax error is on line that starts with “else:”. What’s wrong with it?

Answer 1

Is your supply of new lines limited or why are you writing code like this?

Your error is here, one ] is missing:

VARFD[[value[0].split("/")[1]]
