Hey all,

I'm just getting started with Python and I'm working my way through my first "Learn Python" book on my Mac. I ran into a weird issue though. Here's the example code I'm using:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

print( "Type integers, each followed by ENTER; or just ENTER to finish" )

total = 0
count = 0

while True:
        line = input()
        
        if line:
                try:
                        number = int(line)
                except ValueErr as err:
                        print( "BLARGH : ", err )
                        continue
                        
                total += number
                count += 1
        else:
                break
                
if count:
        print( "count =", count, "total =", total, "mean =", total / count )
        

Now, what happens is that this starts up and immediately dies, giving me this error:

Type integers, each followed by ENTER; or just ENTER to finish
Traceback (most recent call last):
  method <module> in test.py at line 9
    line = input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Why is the "input" statement not waiting for input like it should be and instead killing the app? My google-fu is failing me on this one.
