Nathan, My method when encountering a syntax error like this is to look at the part of my code that's generating the syntax error, and see what structure or function it's using. Then find a program segment that does the same thing in a working program or tutorial. Now that I've written a good number of working programs, I can usually find working examples in my own programs, but if not, I hit a python book. I think you'll find this more efficient than simply posting the error message and code to the Tutor list and asking for help; save the Tutor list for the really challenging problems. You'll find you learn a lot more by taking a good whack at it yourself, first. In your case you've already indicated the error is in this code: > hand = { > '0' : ["Ace"] > '1' : ["Two"] > '2' : ["Three"] > '3' : ["Four"] > '4' : ["Five"] > '5' : ["Six"] > '6' : ["Seven"] > '7' : ["Eight"] > '8' : ["Nine"] > '9' : ["Ten"] > '10' : ["Jack"] > '11' : ["Queen"] > '12' : ["King"] > } You're trying to initialize a dictionary. So go find some examples of initializing a dictionary that work, compare them to your code, and see if you can see what's different about your code. Good luck! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
