defining a function that contains match and case in python

Question

I want to define a function called sleep_in(weekday, vacation). The parameter weekday is True if it is a weekday, and the parameter vacation is True if we are on vacation. We sleep in if it is not a weekday or we're on vacation.

sleep_in(False, False) → True  
sleep_in(True, False) → False  
sleep_in(False, True) → True  
sleep_in(True, True) → True

here's the function I defined

 def sleep_in(weekday, vacation):
   match (weekday, vacation):
    case (False, False):
     return True
    case (True, False):
     return False
    case (False, True):
     return True
    case (True, True):
     return True

but I get the following error:

invalid syntax (line 2)

can anyone tell me what's wrong with my code?

Here's my full code in Jupiter Notebook!

What is your python version? It seems to be a Python 3.10 feature, so I assume you are running the code in an old Python interpreter. — Brambor, Jun 19 '22 at 18:36
You can use this, to detect it at runtime: https://stackoverflow.com/a/9079062/5057078 — Brambor, Jun 19 '22 at 18:39
This works perfectly fine for me, do you have any other code or is this the only code? — Severnarch, Jun 19 '22 at 18:39
@mohsentajdeh I have Python 3.8, so I didn't check it, but @ TJ20201 says it is. — Brambor, Jun 19 '22 at 18:41
Convert your sentence literally to code `return not weekday or vacation` — azro, Jun 19 '22 at 18:45
@Brambor I'm using at least Python 3.10, so that may be why it works for me and not for OP. — Severnarch, Jun 19 '22 at 18:49
thanks @azro but I already know the answer, the point is to use match & case! — mohsentajdeh, Jun 19 '22 at 18:51
@Brambor Yeah I need to add case _: return "Please fill the blanks with the correct formatting!" or something like that! — mohsentajdeh, Jun 19 '22 at 19:17

You have not followed the writing rules. You should leave a space the size of a tab.

def ...():
        match(...):
                case(...):
...
