i keep getting this error

Output: File "/home/apdf/VMSharedFolderDesktop/Pytsk3Ex2.py", line 100

Please use python and output tags when posting code and results. I put them in for you this time. Here are instructions for doing it yourself next time.

You are missing a close parenthesis on the end of line 97. Looks like you accidentally typed an underscore instead. When you get a syntax error and it doesn't make sense, always check the line before.
