No, the error is on line 60. You have blank line between each line, but your editor apparently doesn't show you that. Your line-endings are messed up. Here's a dump of the first two lines.

That's not valid. Apparently python's logic considers that as a line ending with \r, followed by a blank line ending with\r\n. > In fact the error is at script line 30: we should have all the > code on one line, like this > playlistToUse = youtubeClient.AddPlaylist(playlistTitle, > playlistTitle, playlist_private=False). > The "\" used in the script to break the line in 2 is a > reminiscence of running PythonTidy-1.22.python (so fixing this bug > would be directly relevant when using PythonTidy). Nothing wrong with ending with a backslash for continuation. Backslash continues the line onto the next one, which is blank. Remove the extra \r there and it'll be fine. > > With this occasion I would like to ask also what are the limits of > the Python 2.x and 3.x parser.
