If you want to run this in Python 3, try this


CodeRunner-Preferences-Languages-Run Command

edit python $filename to python3 $filename

It appears coderunner 2 is using Python 2.7.1  

Here's where I found the answer, from someone who had a similar issue.  Please 
let us know either way if it solved the problem.

The error you are getting is the error you would get if you were using
python 2.x.  So, are you sure you are running 3.4?  Can you go to a
shell and run it from command line?

also, use plain text to send mail

The outer parentheses are not needed.
Ditto to the other comments, especially about not using html and the 
unicode quote that causes SyntaxError.

I'd look at which python is actually running (sys.version):

Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 word = (input('enter a word '))
enter a word test

emile@emile-OptiPlex-9010:~$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 word = (input('enter a word '))
enter a word test
Traceback (most recent call last):

As is here, this code should raise a syntax error message like
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning string literal

On the right side of *Enter a word* you have to use the same single
quote ' as that on the left side.
Besides this, the code must work assigning your string input to variable
word.
The outer () are unnecessary but cause no hurt.
