I have a compact Python script—under 200 lines—that sends a single prompt to the Perplexity API. The call itself is straightforward, yet I’m hitting a Syntax error that stops the script cold. I’ll share the full .py file and any ancillary config so you can dig straight in. Here’s what I need from you: • Locate the exact cause of the Syntax error and eliminate it so the script runs end-to-end. • Once it’s working, walk me through any quick-win improvements you spot—cleaner structure, tighter exception handling, or smarter use of the Perplexity API—so the code is future-proof. I’m using standard Python 3.1 and the usual requests / httpx stack, but if you see a more elegant approach, feel free to implement it and explain why. Keep the turnaround quick; this is meant to be a rapid fix plus a light polish, not a full rewrite.

⚠ NO PAYMENT UNLESS YOU'RE SATISFIED ⚠ I’ll debug your Python script line-by-line, identify the exact syntax error, and fix it so the Perplexity API call runs without crashing. Once stable, I’ll suggest quick wins like restructuring the request flow, improving error handling for timeouts/HTTP errors, and using async httpx for better performance if needed. I’ll also check for cleaner ways to manage API keys (env vars vs hardcoded) and modularize the code slightly without changing your compact style. Can you share the full `.py` file here so I can spot the syntax issue and apply the fixes right away?
