Its just a simple guessing game I wrote to show my buddy an example of Python.

The red text is the syntax error.

Why is this happening? :confused:

while loop doesn't accept an else. I think you are missing an 'if' statement comparing the value of lplay_again with 'Yes', and that 'else' corresponds to this missing 'if' (and it must be more indented).

@dbug: That's incorrect, While loops in Python do accept else statements.

The reason your program is having a syntax error is because your raw_input function call does not have a closing parenthesis. Check it. :)

    lplay_again = raw_input("Do you want to play again?\nYes or No: "

Also, lplay_again will NOT change the contents of play_again!

BAH!

So it WAS just a typo!

I looked over that block of code over and over and over, but I couldn't see the problem!

BAAAAAAAHHHH!
