Invalid Syntax

I installed Python 2 and followed the instructions in the readme, but I'm getting an 'Invalid Syntax' error on the end quote on the following command. I have retyped the command just in case of a copy/paste artifact and I get the same error.

main.py --text "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him."
