Here's my code, with the error following it: props = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'] group1 = ['C', 'A', 'D', 'B', 17] group2 = ['A', 'B', 'D', 'C', 32] group3 = ['D', 'B', 'C', 'A', 34] group4 = ['B', 'A', 'C', 'D', 17]

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python24\myscripts\ecco\1-1-1.py", line 60 # print order ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> Line 60 also happens to be the very last line, which is commented. I've tried a couple of different things to see if it's a whitespace problem, but it doesn't seem to be. I'm just confused why it detects an error in the commented code anyway.
