can't figure out syntax prob

[python newbie]

Can someone please tell me know what is wrong the code below. Whether I try
to just execute this class definition in IDLE, or include in a py file that
I attempt to run with python.exe, I get the error at the bottom.

In case this formatting gets messed up after posting, the carrot is pointing
at the second parenthesis.
I saw in Quick Python book, that I can define an __init__ function with more
than argument.
Thanks

class FileGroup:
sourceDir = ''
destinDir = ''
frequency = 1
recursive = False
def __init__(self, fg)
sourceDir = getSourceDir(fg)
destinDir = getDestinDir(fg)
frequency = getFrequency(fg)
recursive = getRecursive(fg)

You need a colon there:

def __init__(self,fg):
....

Thanks, wish I could "erase, erase" like that comedian Craig Shumaker says
and undo this post.
