syntax error on wsgi file (Setting up flask app with apache)

Question

I'm trying to put my first flask powered site on my digital ocean server and have followed there tutorial yet I'm getting a syntax error in my apache error log and I am unsure why.

My wsgi file

#!/usr/bin/python
activate_this = '/var/www/mysite/venv/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this)

import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)
sys.path.insert(0,"/var/www/mysite/")

from mysite import app as application

Error Log

[Mon Jan 20 16:22:51 2014] [error] [client 86.153.31.236] SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[Mon Jan 20 16:26:16 2014] [error] [client 86.153.31.236] SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I just don't know what to do as I have viewed others and mine seems the exact same.

You are missing a closing parenthesis on this line:

execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this)

Notice how you have 2 opening parenthesis, but only 1 closing.

Thank you that worked, its now giving me an import error in my error log saying on line 10 from mysite import app as application ImportError: No module named mysite I'm not sure why?

@RetroCoNoR: If this answer helped you resolve your original question (the incorrect parenthesis) please mark it as the answer. It seems like you have another question. If you cannot resolve it, please ask an entirely new question, rather than continuing to ask questions in comments here.
