While running the program, I got this error ”Syntaxerror: unexpected eof while parsing python”. This error happens when I define the list in a Python file called eof_for.py and use a for . loop

Here is the detail of my code:

fruits = 'mango', 'apple', 'kiwi', 'banana'
for fruit in fruits:

Here is the the detail of the error I got:

$ python eof_for.py
  File "eof_for.py", line 4
                          ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

I have tried several workarounds, but they still do not get the desired results. If you have come across this situation and have a solution for this error, please let me know.

    The cause: This is a syntax error that when you build a for loop to go through the elements of a list but don’t finish the body of the loop, you will get this error.

    The solution: You must add a body to the for loop to avoid the ”Syntaxerror: unexpected eof while parsing python”. For instance, consider a single line that prints the list’s elements:

    for fruit in fruits:
    print(fruit)
