Why does using __init__(self, **kwargs) return the following error code: SyntaxError: invalid syntax?

I try to run the code of my Kivy app, but things go wrong when I'm creating a new class. This is the code for it:

class MyGrid(GridLayout):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(MyGrid, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.cols = 2

        self.add_widget(Label(text="First Name: "))
        self.name = TextInput(multiline=False)
        self.add_widget(self.name)

The code doesn't work because of an error in the second line with def __init__(self, **kwargs). The code returns:

 SyntaxError: invalid syntax.

I don't know what's wrong with the syntax. What could be going wrong?

For anyone coming from Tech with Tim's Video, being confused as to why this happens, there is a Typo beneath Class MyGrid(GridLayout):

There needs to be a space between def and __init__.
