So on my Raspberry Pi with Motioneye (not OS) installed and I'm trying to get the Pushover Notification to work. ProblemThe problem is on Raspbian I'm not sure where to put the python script. I've put it in /usr/local/bin/usr/local/bin, /usr/bin/usr/bin but no matter where I place the script it never activates.

When I try to execute the python script I get

File "./pushover.py", line 20 "user": "My token", # Insert user token here ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  File "./pushover.py", line 20
    "user": "My token",       # Insert user token here
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Motioneye on Raspbian - Run a Command python script failing

the pushover.py looks like this:
