What's wrong with this Python file-read test?

What's wrong with this Python file-read test?

import os
import sys

fileList = os.listdir(sys.argv[1])
count = 0
for file in fileList:
    try:
        count += 1
        print os.path.isfile(file)
        if os.path.isfile(file)
            print "File >> " + file
        else
            print "Dir >> " + file
    except err:
        print "ERROR: " + err
        print ">> in file: " + file

gives:

File "test.py", line 10 if os.path.isfile(file) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

why?
