RE: Why am I getting this error? - buran - Sep-27-2017
Simple answer - because you have
\n\n after the closing " of string Items on line 9.\ at the end of the line is used to indicates that the logical line is continued on the following physical line (after whitespace). In your case your code continues on the same line...line#9 should be
str(print("Items\n\n", integer))

Well, print() function returns None so I can't guess why you are passing it as an argument to str()...

oh, didn't notice this... Of course wavic is right
print("Items\n\n", integer)
