Python input error

Question

I\'m running python 2.7.10 on Mac OSX 10.9.5m and it\'s not working. Here\'s the code:

# YourName.py
name = input(\"What is your name?\\n\")
print(\"Hi, \",          


        

Answer 1

Input tries to evaluate if the given string as a program. For a string alone use raw_input. Or you have to quote the string you had on input to allow python to interpret it as a string. For example:

"Ella"
