Hi Palanikumar,
Also, when you have time, see if you can use a text editor or IDE that
does "syntax highlighting". You should be able to catch this kind of
error early on, during program entry, if the editing environment is
smart enough. Most IDEs that are Python-aware will tell you, via
textual hints or coloring, when the parentheses, brackets or braces
have been mismatching.
See: https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments
for a list of known text editors or IDEs that are Python-aware. I
personally use Emacs, but I've heard very good things about other
environments like Vim, Sublime Text, and others. You may want to ask
other peers about their recommendations. A good editing environment
can be a valuable tool for programming.
