Syntax error in for line in python

Question

I am running a python script. I am getting an unexplained syntax error in for line. This is the code:

today = datetime.date.today()
url="http://www.99acres.com/property-in-velachery-chennai-south-ffid?"
print "INSERT INTO Property (URL,Rooms, Place, Phonenumber1,Phonenumber2,Phonenumber3,Typeofperson, Name)"
print "VALUES ("

page=urllib2.urlopen(url)
    soup = BeautifulSoup(page.read())
    properties = soup.findAll(('a', {'title':re.compile('Bedroom')}),('i',{'class':'pdate'})
    for eachproperty in properties:
     print today,","+ "http:/" + eachproperty['href'] ",", eachproperty.string"," ,.join(re.findall("'([a-zA-Z0-9,\s]*)'", eachproperty['onclick'])) 
     print ")"

Error is

$ python properties.py
  File "properties.py", line 15
    for eachproperty in properties:
                                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Update

Is the following line correct ?

properties = soup.findAll(('a', {'title':re.compile('Bedroom')}),('i',{'class':'pdate'}))

@AshwiniChaudhary I have updated the question with one more doubt. Because, there is no error displayed. but no output too — Venkateshwaran Selvaraj

The preceding line has an incorrect count of opening ( parenthesis compared to the number of closing parens:

properties = soup.findAll(('a', {'title':re.compile('Bedroom')}),('i',{'class':'pdate'})
#                      --^^                     ---^      ---^-^-^                -----^

Add one more closing ):

properties = soup.findAll(('a', {'title':re.compile('Bedroom')}),('i',{'class':'pdate'}))
