AppleScript Syntax a real number can't go after this real number?

Question

I have the following line in an AppleScript project:

set script_path to "/tmp/usbmuxd-1.0.7/python-client"

When I try to compile, it highlights the 1.0.7 and gives up this message:

enter image description here

What does this mean?

which MacOS version are you using? is python-client a file or a directory? — Michael Dautermann, Nov 19 '13 at 01:17
`python-client` was a folder. The installation of OSX is 10.9 that I am using. It was a syntax error from above this particular line of code. — Danijel-James W, Nov 19 '13 at 01:18

The code surrounding this one line did not have a " mark where it was required. Thus causing the error.

I checked the code manually and could not see the error after your comment, so I re-wrote the entire code this line comes from, and it worked too!

So I compared the code between the two files and found that simply it was a single quotation that was missing from a dialog box above by a few lines causing the issue.
