This is not the appropriate place to ask for help in debugging your code. I 
suggest you ask on the python-list mailing list.

The error is that you're missing a bunch of right parenthesis in the isWinner() 
function.

I do think "Syntax Error" isn't the best error message, though.

Here's a simplified reproducer:
---------------
def f():
     return ((1==2)
x
---------------

Note that in 3.11 (the only other version I have handy), the error is:

  File "foo.py", line 2
    return ((1==2)
           ^
SyntaxError: '(' was never closed

I suspect that we won't fix this in old versions of python.
