I’m trying to execute the following code, but I’m getting

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

at the if statement. I’m sure it’s related to html as it worked previously without the preceding html; I’m having some difficulty understanding how to go in and out with html and Python as you can see. 

    class MainPage(webapp.RequestHandler):
                def get(self):
#preceding ("""<html><head> tags...                    
</head>
<body>""")
        self.response.out.write(today.strftime("""<html><body><p style='color:#3E3535'>%A, %d %B</p>""")

        if mon <= 3:
            var1 = "winter"

Thanks in advance for suggestions; the if/elifs are indented properly on page.

    If this is your code, then you’re missing a close-paren to close out your last function call.

    Change it to the following:

    self.response.out.write(today.strftime("""<html><body><p style='color:#3E3535'>%A, %d %B</p>"""))
