Python invalid syntax

lastPosition = GPS.getActualPosition()

I m trying to compile a code which is about sending sms through telit module.

above statement is giving an error. I couldn't understand, GPS library is in the place where it's supposed to be and I imported it.

syntaxError: invalid syntax

http://forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=20038 please help!!!

The post the OP referred to (in a comment -- not a great idea, @gheddo! edit your Q instead!), here, has exactly this code (I'm copying and pasting only the two relevant lines):

def get_gps():
gpspos = GPS.getActualPosition() #Read GPS position

see the problem? No indentation for the second line! Therefore, a syntax error: function bodies (and other bodies of compound statements) must be indented in Python.

It was hardly necessary to send us reading that code, you know... the code's author, John Melbourne, in the very next post in this thread says, and I quote:

Hi again Ryan,

The forum software removed the indentation from the Python script that I listed in my earlier mail.

You will need to re-indent the function bodies, if and while statements. See Flavio's original source if your not sure how.

So that's exactly what you have to do -- re-indent the function bodies, if and while statements, and refer to Flavio Bernardotti's code if you need to for this purpose.

Also, in the future, I would strongly recommend you read at least one post later in a thread (if reading the whole thread is too much work for you...;-)...

Perhaps try some text editor with visible white-space? I've had pesky bugs like this until I turn on "Show Invisibles" in TextMate.
