Getting Syntax error with Splunk Python SDK on port 443

Here's the weirdest piece of error I've ever seen. When I run the following code snippet I get a syntax error: line 1, column 0.

But when I change the port to anything else, the code is running. Any help?
import os
import splunklib.client as client
from dotenv import load_dotenv
def connect_to_splunk(username, password, host='splunk.my_company.biz', scheme='https'😞
try:
service = client.connect(username=username, password=password, host=host, scheme=scheme, port='443')
if service:
print("Splunk service created successfully")
except Exception as e:
print(e)
