[pox-dev] syntax error in idle

[Murphy McCauley]

If IDLE is so unhelpful as to not clarify where in this code the syntax error is, I suggest you use a more helpful tool.

Or even... why not just run POX on your local machine and load up this module to get a helpful error message from Python which will point out close to exactly where the syntax error is?  I can't imagine that would be any more time and trouble than asking the POX list to act as a Python syntax checker.

All that said, it appears you have unbalanced parentheses on the line where you set "Host1 IP address".  Remove the first opening "(".  Maybe that will help.
