How to correctly return an a dictionary as an output in zappier code using python

Question

I followed Zapier code documentation for Python but I'm still having this issue:

Objective:

I'm trying reformat my input(Feets) from Acuity Scheduling and update it on Salesforce.

Code:

if " ' " in input_data['Feets']:
output = {'Feets':Feets.split("'")[0],'Inches':Feets.split("'")[1]}
else
output = {'Feets':Feets,'Inches':Inches}

David here, from the Zapier Platform team. You've got two issues:

1. You're missing a : for your else, causing the python to not parse correctly
2. In your if, you don't want spaces around the "'"
3. You need to read input from the input_data dict

The following code works as expected:

if "'" in input_data['Feets']:
    output = {'Feets': input_data['Feets'].split("'")[0], 'Inches': input_data['Feets'].split("'")[1]}
else:
    output = {'Feets': input_data['Feets'],'Inches': input_data['Inches']}
