Membership syntax error -even though code appears to work

So here's the code for this challenge

time = 15

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

I do receive the following error message when submitting: SyntaxError, invalid syntax(<line 1>

Any tips welcome.

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 = True
    else:
        store_open = False

Looks like there are indentation issues with the else
