If you put a space in a variable name, Python thinks it is two
operands without an operator:
</font><pre><font size="4" color="blue">
&gt;&gt;&gt; bad name = 5
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
</font></pre><font color="black">For syntax errors, the error messages don't help much.
The most common messages are <tt>SyntaxError: invalid syntax</tt> and
<tt>SyntaxError: invalid token</tt>, neither of which is very informative.<br />
