   I'm trying to make an RSS scraper to pull articles from RSS feeds and export   
   them to text files, to be used either in my  BBS bulletins or message areas   
      
   I found a web page that supposedly does exactly this, however using the code   
   and testing I get the Folliwing error:   
      
      
   python scraping.py   
   File "scraping.py", line 5      
     def   
   hackernews_rss('https://news.ycombinator.com/rss'):                             
                                          ^   
    SyntaxError: invalid   
   syntax   
      
      
      
   The code is:   
      
   # scraping function   
   def hackernews_rss('https://news.ycombinator.com/rss'):   
       try:   
           r = requests.get()   
           return print('The scraping job succeeded: ', r.status_code)   
       except Exception as e:   
           print('The scraping job failed. See exception: ')   
           print(e)print('Starting scraping')   
   hackernews_rss()   
   print('Finished scraping')   
      
      
   Any idea what I flubbed?   
      
   Thanks
