There is an h in front of the string literal 'hello' where you write to the file.
Output:>>> h"This string literal is syntactically invalid"
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> r"This is a syntactically valid raw string."
'This is a syntactically valid raw string.'
>>> b"This is a syntactically valid bytes literal."
b'This is a syntactically valid bytes literal.'
>>> "This is a syntactically valid string literal."
'This is a syntactically valid string literal.'RE: invalid syantx - perfringo - Apr-26-2019
I also observe that in file you have
file.Write('hello'). Shouldn't it be .write?

I noticed that too, perfringo. I assumed that in his actual code he typed it correctly because it is a lowercase w in his copy paste of the python console. Also, he isn't talking about getting a
NameError, he's getting a syntax error.
