Using Python to write MakeHuman files: Invalid Syntax Error

Question

I have an invalid syntax error and the space is highlighted at the asterisk

"* modifier macrodetails/Caucasian ' + str(CaucasianQuotient) + '\n\"

I went through the whole thing multiple times, but I still don't know what is going wrong

ListOfBodyShape = ['Round', 'RoundBottom', 'RoundTop', 'RoundMuscular', 'MuscularBottom', 'MuscularTop', 'Muscular', 'TopBottom']
ListOfHeight = ['Medium', 'MediumShort', 'TallMedium', 'TallShort', 'Tall', 'Short']
ListOfHairStyle = ['Short', 'Long', 'CurlyShort', 'CurlyLong']
Gender = ['Male', 'Female']
ListOfAges = ['Child', 'Teen', 'Adult', 'Elder']

MuscleQuotient = 0
AfricanQuotient = 0
ProportionQuotient = 0
GenderQuotientQuotient = 0
HeightQuotient = 0
BreastSizeQuotient = 0
AgeQuotient = 0
BreastFirmnessQuotient = 0
AsianQuotient = 0
CaucasianQuotient = 0
WeightQuotient = 0

for a in range(len(ListOfBodyShape)):
    for b in range(len(ListOfHeight)):
        for c in range(len(ListOfHairStyle)):
            for d in range(len(Gender)):
                for e in range(len(ListOfAges)):
                    f = open(ListOfBodyShape[a] + ' ' + ListOfHeight[b] + ' ' + ListOfHairStyle[c] + ' ' + Gender[d] + ' ' + ListOfAges[e]  + '.mhm', 'w')

                    f.write('version v1.1.0\n\

                    modifier macrodetails/Caucasian ' + str(CaucasianQuotient) + '\n\
                    modifier macrodetails-universal/Weight ' + str(WeightQuotient) + '\n\

                    subdivide False\n')

Around `eyes HighPolyEyes` line... You do not have `+ '\n'` – OneCricketeer Feb 06 '17 at 23:27 — OneCricketeer, Feb 06 '17 at 23:27

A "+" sign is missing before the str in this line:

'modifier macrodetails/Gender ' str(GenderQuotient) + '\n\ "

Also use f.close() at the end.

First, you should understand that you don't need ranges on your loops.

for a in range(len(ListOfBodyShape)): # a range
    x = ListOfBodyShape[a]  # get value with index

Is the exact same as

for x in ListOfBodyShape:  # get value

^{Sidenote: Python naming-conventions say not to start variables with capital letters}

I would suggest not trying to write one large chunk of text.

I don't know what your output needs to look like, but Python has multiline strings, so you shouldn't write the \n yourself unless you need to.

Plus, \n\ isn't just a new line.

So start with this

f.write("""version v1.1.0
tags untitled
camera 6.0 347.5 -0.113847193662 0.694580827356 -0.399507358182 0.6375\n""")

And then I would recommend you use string formatting.

f.write("modifier macrodetails-universal/Muscle {}\n".format(MuscleQuotient))

And don't forget to use f.close()

Or you can do this

filename = "{} {} {} {} {}.mhm".format(ListOfBodyShape[a], ListOfHeight[b], ListOfHairStyle[c], Gender[d], ListOfAges[e])
with open(filename), 'w') as f:
    f.write(...)
# f.close() automatically
