I honestly have no idea what is going on or why my code will not work :(

import sys


first_num = int(sys.argv[1])
second_num = int(sys.argv[2]


if first_num + second_num <= 0:
    print('You have chosen the path of destitution.')
elif first_num + second_num is >= 1 and <= 100:
    print('You have chosen the path of plenty')
elif first_num + second_num > 100:
    print('You have chosen the path of excess.')

^This is the branching.py file which I am getting an error from^

\/For some reason this numbers.py file is being called as well which confuses the hell out of me\/

import sys


first_number = float(sys.argv[1])
second_number = float(sys.argv[2]) 


result_sum = first_number + second_number
result_difference = first_number - second_number
result_product = first_number * second_number
result_quotient = first_number / second_number

print(f"{first_number} plus {second_number} equals {result_sum}")
print(f"{first_number} minus {second_number} equals {result_difference}")
print(f"{first_number} multipied by {second_number} equals {result_product}")
print(f"{first_number} divided by {second_number} equals {result_quotient}")

\/In the Terminal you see it calls this numbers.py file that I did not run and then it gives me this weird error.\/

you have missing closing bracket on line 5 in branching.py

I swear I looked at this little piece of code for 30 min... I actually can not believe it...

as to the traceback - I am not 100% sure, but it looks like the unhandled SyntaxError exception in your program is intercepted by Apport, which is disabled by default in stable releases. During this process it try (among other things) to import module numbers from _decimal, but it actually imports your numbers.py. as a result numbers.py is executed and you see the output as well as the AttributeError
