even.py 
import random
start=5
def even_odd(num):
    while True:
        num=random.randint(1, 99)
        if num%2==0:
            print("{} is even".format(num))
            start-=1
        else:
            print("{} is odd".format(num))
            start-=1
        return not num % 2
        if start==0
           break

    # If % 2 is 0, the number is even.
    # Since 0 is falsey, we have to invert it with not

That error normally means you have a syntax error.

Unfortunately, you are a bit on the wrong track. You should have left the function even_odd as it was. And started the while loop below. You then call the function when you need to test is a value is odd or even and it returns true or false.
