Subscription Error

So I'm trying to get my subscription the NY Review of Books on Calibre.

I kinda merged the subscription stuff from the Calibre manual with the regular NYBooks feed script but I keep getting an error message.

Here's the script I'm using:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env  python
__license__   = 'GPL v3'
__copyright__ = '2008, Kovid Goyal kovid@kovidgoyal.net'
__docformat__ = 'restructuredtext en'

'''
nybooks.com
'''

from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe
from lxml import html
from calibre.constants import preferred_encoding

class NewYorkReviewOfBooks(BasicNewsRecipe):
    
    title = u'New York Review of Books'
    description = u'Book reviews'
    language = _('English')
    __author__ = 'Kovid Goyal' 
    needs_subscription = True
    remove_tags_before = {'id':'container'}
    remove_tags = [{'class':['noprint', 'ad', 'footer']}, {'id':'right-content'}]

    def get_browser(self):
        br = BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser()
        if self.username is not None and self.password is not None:
            br.open('http://www.nybooks.com/register/')
            br.select_form(name='login')
            br['email']   = self.---------@gmail.com
            br['password'] = self.--------
            br.submit()
        return br
    
    def parse_index(self):
        root = html.fromstring(self.browser.open('http://www.nybooks.com/current-issue').read())
        date = root.xpath('//h4[@class = "date"]')[0]
        self.timefmt = ' ['+date.text.encode(preferred_encoding)+']'
        articles = []
        for tag in date.itersiblings():
            if tag.tag == 'h4': break
            if tag.tag == 'p':
                if tag.get('class') == 'indented':
                    articles[-1]['description'] += html.tostring(tag)
                else:
                    href = tag.xpath('descendant::a[@href]')[0].get('href')
                    article = {
                               'title': u''.join(tag.xpath('descendant::text()')),
                               'date' : '',
                               'url'  : 'http://www.nybooks.com'+href,
                               'description': '',
                               }
                    articles.append(article)
                    
        return [('Current Issue', articles)]
But when I try to update Calibre's script I get this error message:
Code:
Could not create recipe. Error:
invalid syntax (recipe1.py, line 32)
Line 32 is the "return br" line after the subscription info.

Any help?

Use self.username and self.password instead of your actual username and password.

There are boxes where you enter username and password when you schedule news downloads.
