Out of the top of my head, errors I make most often when
writing Python code:

WRONG:
f( x )
print( x )

WRONG:
def f( x )
print( x )

WRONG:
f( x ):
print( x )

SHOULD BE:
def f( x ):
print( x )

WRONG:
else

SHOULD BE:
else:

WRONG:
x[ 2, 7 ]

SHOULD BE:
x[ 2: 7 ]

WRONG
print x
# I never used Python 2!

SHOULD BE:
print( x )

and another one is:

WRONG:
while i in re.finditer( '=[^,]+', example ):

WRONG:
for each i in re.finditer( '=[^,]+', example ):

SHOULD BE:
for i in re.finditer( '=[^,]+', example ):

I am talking about "typos" here: I know what's correct,
but when typing fast, my fingers sometimes get it wrong.

Let me guess, vim user?

I sometimes use vim, but I write Python mainly with other editors.

PS: In the meantime, I have noticed some other types of errors
I make often:

- Forgetting "return" at the end of a function
- using "+=" instead of "append" when adding to a list
- forgetting "r" in front of strings with regular expressions
