Python variable outside of function Syntax error?

There are two errors that I can spot here. The first one is on line 20. You have opened 3 parentheses and only closed one of them. Change line 22 to this:

numb = int(raw_input("How many points would you like to add?\n > "))

There is no need for the third bracket, just use 2.

The second is on lines 32 and 14. You are not passing Premains into the function dex_skill, thereby it cannot access that variable, so it will return a TypeError. To fix this, change line 32 to this:

dex_skill(Premains)

and line 14 to this:

def dex_skill(Premains):

So your code will look like this:

Premains = 10 #Remaining points assigned before functions

#Function designed to see user's overall stats and remaining points

def print_skills():
        print "Dexterity:" + dex
        print "Strength:" + str
        print "IntelligenceL:" + int
        print "\nYou have %d remaining" % Premain

#Function called when user selects to edit Dexterity attribute
Premains = 10 #Remaining points assigned before functions

#Function designed to see user's overall stats and remaining points
def print_skills():
        print "Dexterity:" + dex
        print "Strength:" + str
        print "IntelligenceL:" + int
        print "\nYou have %d remaining" % Premain

#Function called when user selects to edit Dexterity attribute

def dex_skill(Premains): #Passing Premains as a parameter so this function can access it.
        Dpoints = 0
        print "Great you choose Dexterity!"
        answer = raw_input("would you like to add or subtract    points?\n > ")

        if answer == "add":
                print "You have: %d points remaining!" % Premains

                numb = int(raw_input("How many points would you like to add?\n > "))

                Premains = (numb - Premains)
                Dpoints = numb + Dpoints

                print "Great! you now have: %d Dexterity points!"

        else:
                print "You choose subtract."
                #Subtract code goes here. Similiar to above.

dex_skill(Premains)

HOW TO CORRECT SYNTAX ERRORS

Syntax errors are one of the easiest errors to fix, you get all of the information you need to fix it in the error thrown by Python.

The following code:

array = ['john', 'paul', 'mike'

for a in array:
    print(a)

will return a Syntax error at line 1, and the Python IDE will highlight the point where is cannot parse past, so it will look like this:

As you can see, for is highlighted in red, so Python cannot parse past that, so the error is either on that line or on the line above. In this case, the array has been opened, but not closed so Python is parsing the for loop as if it is an array, which it cannot do, so you need to correct line 1 by changing it...

From this: array = ['john', 'paul', 'mike'

To this array = ['john', 'paul', 'mike']

Other IDEs should either give you syntax errors like this or print it on the console like the official Python IDE would do for a ValueError
