Python’s Built-in Exceptions – Real Python

SyntaxError is a built-in exception that occurs when the interpreter encounters a line of code that violates Python’s syntax rules.

This type of error is typically raised when there’s an issue with the structure of the code, such as a missing colon, unmatched parentheses, or incorrect keyword usage.

As a developer, you won’t handle SyntaxError exceptions. Instead, you’ll need to fix the syntax issue to resolve the error. Syntax errors are usually caught during the initial parsing of the code, before execution begins.

• Forgetting a colon at the end of a function or control statement
• Using incorrect indentation or mixing tabs and spaces
• Misspelling a keyword or using a keyword improperly
• Omitting or mismatching parentheses, brackets, or quotes

An example of when the exception appears:

>>> numbers = [1, 2, 3 4]
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    numbers = [1, 2, 3 4]
                     ^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?

You can’t handle SyntaxError exceptions using try … except blocks because they occur before the code executes. You need to fix the code to resolve the error:

>>> numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4]

You don’t raise SyntaxError exceptions manually. They’re automatically raised by Python when it parses the code.
