Python was recommended to me by a friend so i decided to take a whack at it. I did a hello world and then decided to try this out.

numberToStartAt = input('Input a number to start at: ')

print(findNextPrime(numberToStartAt))

input('Press any key to continue...')


def findNextPrime(numberToLookAfter):

    currentNumber = numberToLookAfter

    while(not len(getFactors(currentNumber) == 2):

        currentNumber = currentNumber + 1

    return currnetNumber



def getFactors(numberToFactor):

    factorList = []

    for x in range(1,numberToFactor/2,1):

          for x2 in range(numberToFactor, numberToFactor/2,-1):

              if x * x2 == numberToFactor:

                  factorList.append([x,x2])

    return factorList

I keep getting a syntax error about line 7.Based on all the example code I've seen. This ought to work. What am I doing wrong.

PS
This is python 3.2

You appear to be missing some right parentheses.

Holy cow!!! Can't believe I missed that!

Thank you! Sorry for the trouble.
