Question

I have this function in my class:

 def removeUserFromSessionDatabase(self, user):
      if user in self.users:
         for k in self.users.keys():
            if k == user:
               del self.users[k]
               print("Removed")

            else:
               print("user does not exist")
      else:
         print "soemthing"

now I always get error at this last else with message: SyntaxError: invalid syntax
where as it should work. users is a dictionary here and there is no other method. Why am I getting this syntax error?

Answer 1

Your indentation could be incorrect, most likely caused by tabs. Run python -tt scriptname.py to check.

There is otherwise no syntax error in your code that would cause this specific exception, not in the code you’ve given us.
