This error occurs because the Python raw_input() function received an
end of file. Did you type control-D instead of an email address
followed by <CR>? It doesn't look like it in the above, but is it
possible that your shell has somehow redirected standard input to a
file or /dev/null instead of the terminal?

Can you successfully run the following:

$ python
Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 27 2005, 18:02:40)
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> x = raw_input('Prompt: ')
Prompt: answer
>>> print x
answer
>>>
