Abaqus Python script & Really Simple GUI interface syntax issues -

i've been running python scripts in abaqus quite time now.

so delighted find simple gui builder (rsgb), or until tried utilize it!

the kernel script i'm using mature piece of code thought prime candidate test out in rsgb.

all needed doing (or thought) matching widget inputs variables in kernel function.

but unexplainable reason abaqus declares have syntax error on function declaration line, see if can spot it?

def setup( modname, target, radmax, radmin, vx, vy, vz, hght, wdth, zlen, numsphere ):

the error,

syntaxerror:('invlid syntax',('.\rigidpyticle.py',22,86,'def setup( modname, target, radmax, radmin, vx, vy, vz, hght, wdth, zlen, numsphere )\n'))

i should add together have checked indents & variables sent gui match in kernel function. kernel function same piece of code has been functioning outside rsgb framework when run using abaqus cli

am missing obvious?

(or it, suspect, abaqus has got in me?)

partial kernel code listing i'm not @ liberty disclose of it:
