learn python the hard way exercise 26 trouble

I am doing exercise 26 in learn python the hard way and have been struggling on it. I have read it backwards and everything, but in line 77 I get :

sentence = "All god \t things come to those who weight."
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I dont know why the arrow is a开发者_如何转开发t the e . I dont just want to know how to fix it but what the problem is.

You're probably missing a close bracket, brace, or parenthesis on the previous line of code.

Edit: From the code:

print "We'd have %d beans, %d jars, and %d crabapples." % secret_formula(start_pont

There is no close parenthesis at the end of the line.

This is almost always the problem if you have a SyntaxError near the beginning of a line that looks right.

The original statement is

sentence = "All god\tthings come to those who weight."

Make sure you typed it properly.

It's also possible that the code before this line is messed up.

EDIT: I checked the source, and it is broken: http://learnpythonthehardway.org/exercise26.txt

print "We'd have %d beans, %d jars, and %d crabapples." % secret_formula(start_pont

The open parenthesis was not closed.

There are several mistakes in the exercise26.txt

One of them is line 74 has a parenthesis that isn't closed:

print "We'd have %d beans, %d jars, and %d crabapples." % secret_formula(start_pont

should be

print "We'd have %d beans, %d jars, and %d crabapples." % secret_formula(start_pont)

(and probably start_point as start_pont isn't defined).

Syntax errors are usually on the line or the line above.
