I'd count the parenthesis on the prior line:
option = int(raw_input('Option (1,2,3,4,5,6,9): ')
while option != 9:
Also when you notice that you are copying and pasting the same line over and
over, it may be time to think about reorganizing the code a little bit (Once
you have it working).
Happy Debugging
