I am running the below and am getting the error. Can anyone help?

import feedparser, MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect(host='localhost',user='root',passwd='passsswd’, db=‘no’)

ERROR:

 File "<ipython-input-6-0238cde77faf>", line 2

  • If you are using an IDE, I suggest setting-up syntax highlighting. You'll immediately see that the format of the passwd= value stays the same until ), hinting that something's wrong, even before you run your code (similar to how the code looks like here in SO). Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 4:26

You're using ’ and ‘ instead of ', which confuses the interpreter. Just replace all instances of ’ and ‘ with '.
