What is wrong with the following, apparently almost straight out of
Python Programming
by Michael Dawson?
You are using Python v2, the tutorial seems to be written for v3.
There are big diffeernces in syntax between them, v3 is NOT
backwards compatible with v2.
# Get value.
name = input("What is your name? ")
In v2 that would be
name = raw_input("What is your name")
Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32 Type
"copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

What is your name? Keith
I think there is a trick in V2.7 to make it act more like v3 but
someone
else will need to tell you what it is... :-)
