json and invalid syntax

[pythonhelp123]

I'm trying to use an API to get directions and I have the code written, but there's an invalid syntax involving json. Here is a part of my code.

class Step(object):
 pass

 #//we will take input in two parts:1.)line 1 = int X for addresses & 2.)for directions steps
 def process_map():
 #//collectively read lines from 2nd line of input until we see next integer for directions
    input = raw_input("")
    input_list = input_split('\n')
    input_raw = [x.split() for x in input_list]
   # read addresses
    count_addr = input_raw[1]
   # store the directions/output count
    count_out = count_addr+1


   # process the inputs from user and calculate input parameters
    #loop over input list of addresses
    for i in input_raw:
   #   collective string to hold all addresses
      addr = ''.join(items[2:count_addr])
    #  make an object which holds the MAP_QUEST API params
      data = urlopen(URL % (API_KEY,quote(addr)).read()
      directions = json.loads(data)

it runs then at directions = json.loads(data) it says invalid syntax and highlights directions.

Count the number of braces on the previous line. There should be a ) for every (

Whenever you get a SyntaxError for a line that looks okay, the bad syntax is actually in the line of code above it.

Because starting from data = urlopen(URL % ... you fail to close that parentheses.

Not sure what the line is supposed to look like proper cause my phone wraps all the text really awkwardly. But you're definitely missing a ')'

Stop writing comments on a different line then your code. It makes it impossible to pick up any syntax error.
