Well, I thought that as well but I took it out which makes it run
under 2.6.1 and I get similar, but not exactly the same, output:
Type integers, each followed by ENTER; or just ENTER to finish
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Hi,
I noticed this: #!/usr/bin/env python3.... which I think indicates
you are using python version 3. I strongly suspect you are reading a
text based on one of the version 2 issues of python.
You might consider dropping back a version(such as 2.6.) since most
learning texts are not updated to work with Version 3.

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.

Seems to me you're running Python 2.x. The input() function is
dangerous. In Python 2.x you should use raw_input(), and your program
will behave as you expect.
In Python 3, raw_input() has been dropped, and that functionality is
called input().
The old input() function evaluates the input, and if there isn't
anything to evaluate, it raises an exception, as you see. But to get a
uninterpreted string, use raw_input().
