Excellent question :-)
The traceback Sam posted says (in part):
Move = input('What Will You Do? Fight or Run: ')
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Run' is not defined
so the failed line was the call to input(). In Python 3, it would return
a string. In Python 2, input() evaluates whatever the user types as
code, hence I infer Sam typed:
Run
and input() tries to evaluate it, which fails.
Also, the following line says:
if Move == Fight:
pass
If input() returned a string, as in Python 3, then the next line would
run and Sam would have got a name error for Fight. This didn't happen.
