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 >>> -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
