SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing in Python is an error which occurs when you do not realize you have a syntax error.
In this article I am going to help you solve this error and understand the root of the problem, also I am presenting other possible solutions that may work if the main solution does not work for you.
Explaining the SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing in Python
The error happens when you have a problem in your syntax.
The error message should be very similar to the error bellow, its better not to try to use fixes for problems you do not have while being confused by errors.
#
for i in range(0,24):
for i in range(0,24): ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
for k in range(n_hours_advance,n_hours_advance+n_hours_window): ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
#
Bellow I make my best attempt at solving the error and present multiple possible solutions.
Solution 1 : too many/missing parentheses.
First of all, we need to understand that this error can happen when we have few or too many parentheses.
This is most of the time going to result in an unexpected end of file error.
The following example will generate the same error.
#
print(7, not (x==4 and y==5)
#
Bellow, is a solution you can try if this one does not solve your problem.
Solution 2 : fix the syntax error.
Another root of the problem is when you have a syntax error hidden inside an f-string. In this case the solution is to fix the syntax error. In the example bellow you should replace the line bellow.
#
print(f'num_flex_rows = {self.}\nFlex Rows = {flex_rows}\nMax elements = {max_elements}')
#
With this line of code.
#
print(f'num_flex_rows = {self.num_rows}\nFlex Rows = {flex_rows}\nMax elements = {max_elements}')
#
If the solutions above do not solve your issue we still have another solution to try.
Solution 3 : use code blocks.
Another root for the problem is the way some users may try to run their code, many will use the console to run the code line by line. Which can work for independent lines like variable initialization and prints but not for loops and other code blocks.
The code bellow shows how the error can occur by using a for loop in the console.
#
In [1]: for i in range(100):
File "<ipython-input-1-ece1e5c2587f>", line 1
for i in range(100):
^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing
#
The only way to get rid of the error is to form a single block from the code and run it.
#
In [2]: for i in range(10):
...: print(i, end=', ')
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
#
I hope the solutions above fixed your issue.
