Why does this error appear?

I suspect the static method tag is not detected or something.

>class Employee:
>   @staticmethod
>       def dayIsWorkday(day):
>           if day.weekday() == 5 or day.weekday() == 6:
>                 return False
>           return True
>
>
>import datetime
>my_date = datetime.date(2018, 12, 5)
>
>print(Employee.dayIsWorkday(my_date))

File "C:/Users/tronc/PycharmProjects/oop_TEST/main.py", line 26 def dayIsWorkday(day): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Process finished with exit code 1

You may think that it's not useful, i think that too, but it's for a tutorial i'm trying to follow and i don't wanna go any further till i get what i done wrong

I guess its an indentation error. Check this

class Employee:
    @staticmethod
    def dayIsWorkday(day):
        if day.weekday() == 5 or day.weekday() == 6:
            return False
        return True


import datetime
my_date = datetime.date(2018, 12, 5)

print(Employee.dayIsWorkday(my_date))

There should be no indentation for the function name in the next line after @staticmethod

>class Employee:
>   @staticmethod
>   def dayIsWorkday(day):
>       if day.weekday() == 5 or day.weekday() == 6:
>             return False
>       return True

>import datetime
>my_date = datetime.date(2018, 12, 5)
>
>print(Employee.dayIsWorkday(my_date))
