Are you on Mac? Alt + Space inserts some other space character that
Python can not interpret. Try deleting the whitespace after the ] and
add a new one. -

Yes, I'm on a Mac. I'm using PyChar IDE, no wrong spaces, I've already deleted the white spaces but same error.

Hello,
When you look at the Olight.h header file you will see that LIGHT_DETAILS_FALLOFF_INVERSESQUARE_CLAMPED has the value of 7. But I suggest to not use such magic numbers but to use the actual symbol:
op[c4d.LIGHT_DETAILS_FALLOFF] = c4d.LIGHT_DETAILS_FALLOFF_INVERSESQUARE_CLAMPEDbest wishes,
