Error running any script in IDLE

[mattgraves7]

Im fairly new to Python. I was trying to run a script using IDLE and it came 
back with an error and immediately shut down. After this, every script I tried 
to test within IDLE would do the same. I wrote the following script: 

while True
x = input("test")

It seems simple enough to not be screwed up in any way, but when I hit F5 to 
test, it gets red text and shuts down IDLE. It scrolls too fast to see before 
shutting down, but I right clicked the text quickly to pause it. This is what 
it comes back with:

Can anyone tell me what's going on, and why this error comes up regardless of 
what script I try to run in IDLE?

If I run it in cmd, it seems to work fine.

Thanks Chris, that worked. Like I said, I'm fairly new to python so I am still 
learning the ins and outs. Thank you.

Typing letters slowly using sys

[mattgraves7]

I am using sys to give the effect that I am typing letters slowly. Basically 
what I want to have happen is have it show "Loading.." with the word 
loading appearing instantly and then the periods appearing slowly, as most 
loading screens do. 
This is what I have.

dots = ('')
for x in dots:
 sys.stdout.write(x)
 sys.stdout.flush()
 time.sleep(0.2)

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the dots to appear on the 
same line as "Loading". Every way that I have attempted, the word "Loading" 
appears and then the dots appear on the next line.
