231,275 PointsHave you previously created "index" and given it a value? If not, this code would cause a syntax error because it's trying to add one to something that doesn't exist yet.
If that's not the problem, you might need to show the whole program. If it's short, you can post it (with proper formatting). Even better, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

231,275 PointsThe issue is on the previous line:
print("{}. {}".format(index, item)
The parentheses are unbalanced — there are two opens but only one closing parenthesis.
