Remove the comma, and this will parse correctly.
A comma in a function call is used to separate arguments. On its own a
comma creates a tuple -- outside of a list or dict and assuming
parentheses for precedence where necessary.

This retains the leading spaces. You can use textwrap.dedent() to remove them:
>>> print(textwrap.dedent("""
... Do you have another book to order for this student?
... Enter y for yes: """))
Do you have another book to order for this student?
Enter y for yes:
