Python 3.5.2 Try Except Invalid Syntax

Question

I am receiving an Invalid Syntax error on my except statement. The code runs fine until I add in the except

import pyautogui
print('Press Ctrl-C to quit.')
while True:
     pyautogui.click(1624, 967)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('\nDone.')

I'm sure I'm just missing something silly.

Thank you!

Well... it's because that's invalid syntax. Consider putting that pyautogui.click call in a try block... that's where the except should go. Don't forget to break. — erip

@AlanLeuthard More like elif; else works with while and for as well :) — chepner

You forgot to add try statement.

import pyautogui
print('Press Ctrl-C to quit.')

try:
    while True:
        pyautogui.click(1624, 967)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print('\nDone.')
