When it comes to things like error messages, you need to post enough code and the _exact_ error message in order for us to easily help you. > name=input(“What is your name? “) I imagine it's because you're using Python 2.*, where as the guide is using the 3.* version. The function you want in 2.7 is "raw_input", not "input". In 2.7, "input" takes the string given then runs eval on it. If you want to know more about this, read http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html?#input and http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html?#eval Otherwise, you can either change your Python installation to Python 3.* to follow your guide, or you can carry on with 2.* and hope for the best :) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
