Python Syntax error: blank space

Question

I am new to python, this code is meant to print out the top 100 frequent words in file MusicTaste.csv and print it in a table. I've solved past syntax error, but have never seen this error before.

Please see code below

import re
from collections import Counter
from prettytable import PrettyTable

words = re.findall('\w+',open('MusicTaste2.csv').read().lower())   
for label, data in ('Word', words) THE_ERROR_APPEARS_HERE_BLANK_SPACE

pt = PrettyTable(field_names=[label, 'Count'])
c = Counter(words)
[ pt.add_row(kv) for kv in c.most_common()[:100]

print pt

You need a colon at the end of the line. for a in b:

import re
from collections import Counter
from prettytable import PrettyTable

words = re.findall('\w+',open('MusicTaste2.csv').read().lower())   
for label, data in ('Word', words):
    pt = PrettyTable(field_names=[label, 'Count'])
    c = Counter(words)
    [pt.add_row(kv) for kv in c.most_common()[:100]]
    print (pt)

First problem is indent your code properly

Second problem is missing of : in the follwing line

for label, data in ('Word', words):

Third problem i am seeing is missing of ] in the following line

[pt.add_row(kv) for kv in c.most_common()[:100]]

Note that using a list comprehension and throwing away the value is probably not the thing OP should be doing.
