You're using input(). You should be using raw_input(), at least until everyone switches to Python 3.0 (which confusingly renames raw_input() to input() because of the exact newbie confusion you're encountering). raw_input() reads a string from stdin. input() call raw_input() and then eval()-s the string, hence 'asd' gets interpreted as a variable, which doesn't exist in your program, hence the error. For further information, use help() on input and raw_input from the interactive interpreter REPL.
