MySQL issue in Python

Question

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

^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

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). — Gino Mempin

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