Evaluate SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[NLBONU1]

When I try to run the following script;

import evaluate
eval_metric = evaluate.load("squad")
results = eval_metric.compute(references=new_examples, predictions=predictions)

I get this error;

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I am working on my company's laptop and it has ZScaler enabled, could this be part of the issue?

Looking forward to a response, thanks.
