Python Syntax error

Question

I'm getting the following error:

File "Question2.py", line 18
 except getopt.GetoptError as e:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Section of code that it comes from:

 try:
 opts, args = getopt.getopt(argv, "c:t:", ["class=","term="]
 except getopt.GetoptError as e:
 print 'Question2.py -c <class> -t <term>'
 system.exit(2)
 for opt, arg in opts:
 if opt in ('c', 'class'):
 selectclass = arg
 if opt in ('t', 'term'):
 selectterm = arg

What I am trying to do is get command line arguments working. I want to be able to accept -c or -class and -t or -term. I am following a tutorial located here. I am unsure what is going wrong.

You forgot a closing parenthesis at the end of this line:

opts, args = getopt.getopt(argv, "c:t:", ["class=","term="])
# here--^
