I'm trying out the Flaskr tutorial(http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/) and I got the following error after I tried to run flaskr.py using the terminal:

if __name__ == '__main__':
                             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have absolutely no idea why I got this error. Can someone help me please?

You have forgotten a closing parenthesis in your return line, above your if __name__ == "__main__": statement, you put

return redirect(url_for('show_entries')

and it should be

return redirect(url_for('show_entries'))
