I'm just getting into py coding, and have come across an oddity in a py

This same loop structure appears in many places in this book "Starting
out with Python, 2nd ed, Tony Gaddis), and they all yield the same
error. Is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks for the input...
I believe that should be raw_input, not input . input() evaluates user's
input
in local scope. -m
m
Nicely done! That fixed it! Is that a version feature or should I take
what I find in these books with a grain of salt?
It's a difference between Python 2 and Python 3.
Normally a lot of care is taken to maintain backwards compatibility,
but it was decided that the language needed to be tidied up and certain
misfeatures removed.
Python 2 has stopped at version 2.7. Python 3 is currently at version
3.3.
