Shopping list take three

This says "Syntax error" in line 26, and I can not understand why "else:" is a syntax error

It says that else on line 26 is wrong but I already deleted it and it keeps telling me this.

try:
    position = abs(int(position))
except ValueError:
    position = None

    shopping_list.insert(position-1, item)
else:
    shopping_list.append(new_item)
