I've written a program for a class and I am getting a syntax error that makes no sense on this portion:
"""Output Area"""
#self.outputArea
self.outputArea = self.addTextArea("", row = 3, column = 0)
The syntax error is on the """Output Area""" line, but when I delete that portion, the syntax moves to the "#self.outputArea" line. Then if I delete that line, the syntax error will move down to the "self.outputArea = self.addTextArea". Then down to the function below this line. This is the only error in the entire code and it just seems to keep jumping around.
I'm incredibly confused as I am new to programming. Am I just overlooking something?
This is a common siutation. The issue most likely lies in the block before """Output Area""".
The exact issue is difficult to guess. Some of the common ones off the top of my head are:

Incorrect indentation (correct setup of an editor is important here.)
Trailing comma
Incorrect implementation of exception handling.

The list goes on. As I said, it's difficult to surmise.
What do I need to change to get rid of this syntax error that seems to jump from line to line?
