Python try except else invalid syntax?

Question

So I am trying to set up a small script in Python\'s IDLE. The IDLE syntax check tells me this code has a syntax error:

from ftplib import FTP
import os
def ftp         


        

Answer 1

In addition to the problem with my syntax (missing except statement entirely), my ftp attempt statement was outside of the try block. Since I was not "try"ing it, it failed anyway.
