To really get this clear  here s my for-beginners answer  You inputed the arguments in the wrong order  A keyword argument has this style  nullable True  unique False  A fixed parameter should be defined  True  False  etc  A non-keyword argument is different  name  quot Ricardo quot   fruit  quot chontaduro quot    This syntax error asks you to first put name  quot Ricardo quot  and all of its kind  non-keyword  before those like nullable True  python keywordnon-keywordsyntax-error

It s just what it says   inputFile   open  x   encoding    utf8    r     You have specified encoding as a keyword argument  but  r  as a positional argument   You can t have positional arguments after keyword arguments   Perhaps you wanted to do   inputFile   open  x    r   encoding    utf8
