[Question] SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[yahav6893]

I'm trying to obfuscate a repo of files, that includes .gitignore files and others, which results in SyntaxError: invalid syntax when the obfuscating script tries to compile them.
Is there a good way to work around this or should I build a new repo/directory only with the files that will actually run and need obfuscation?
Thanks!
