What is EOL While Scanning String Literal?
This error EOL While Scanning String Literal means you started a string with a quote (‘ or “) but forgot to close it. Python reaches the End Of Line (EOL) still expecting the closing quote.
Common Causes:
- Missing closing quote in a string
- Copy-paste issues
- Using single quotes inside a single-quoted string
Solution:
- Always match opening and closing quotes.
- Use triple quotes (”’ or “””) for multiline strings.
Example (Throws Error):
python
text = “This string is not closed
Fixed Code:
python
text = “This string is properly closed”
Extra Tip:
For multiline strings, do this:
python
text = “””This
is a
multiline string”””
