It's python 3.6.4 version. The syntax error occur on line 11. My code missing parentheses ()

Close bag

if item_took == ('DONE'):

Problem solved. Tks Mr.Chris for your time

I can't run them, syntax error occurred on line 11 when I try code in Python shell. Tks for your response, Mr.Chris.

Can you paste in the contents of the console window showing the attempted run and the error?

I was hoping to see the full output including the shell prompt and all the output afterwards.

Is it possible you are running Python version 2.x instead of 3.x?
