What's wrong with my try: except: syntax?

Question

Choking code:

while port < 0 or port > 65535:
    try:
        port = int(raw_input("Enter port: ")
    except ValueError:
        print "Invalid port number."

Result:

  File "/Users/.../Documents/.../CS 176A/TCPServer.py", line 10
    except ValueError:
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Answer 1

Missing right parenthesis. Change to port = int(raw_input("Enter port: "))

Answer 2

BTW, as a rule, whenever you receive interpreter/compiler errors, start looking for problems one line before the reported line.
