If Statement

Where do I look for the invalid syntax error? There are only 8 lines of code and the error points to a line not there.

membership.py 
time = 15

store_open = None
store_hours = [9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
if time in store_hours:
    store_open is True
    else:
        store_open is False
