You are trying to execute a Robot script directly with a Python interpreter. Python interpreters only understand Python code, not Robot syntax.

you need to execute your Robot scripts through the robot runner. see: http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#executing-robot-framework
