 Hi
 When I enter myvar= raw_input (Please excuse a number of movies: )

 I put in:

post your code.. and also windows/linux/mac?

if you post code and error message it will be easier to help

Don't put quotes around the variable name.
Python is trying to convert the string myvar to an int, which it 
can't.


BTW When posting it is best to send the code plus entire error 
message,

it greatly helps us debug the problem.
