Question

I've been getting a runtime error with the raw_input exercise.
I've been racking my brain with these two sources of documentation.
http://wiki.python.org/moin/SimplePrograms
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_Programming/Input_and_output

Can someone be kind enough to give me a little insight as to what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

What's your code look like?

Answer 2

What version of Python?

Answer 3

x = input('What is your name?\nPlease type your name here:')
print 'Hello %s' % x

Answer 4

Currently running Python 2.6.7

Answer 5

You try putting parenthesis around your print statement?
x = input('What is your name?\nPlease type your name here:')
print ('Hello %s'% x)

Answer 6

The code still doesn't work :-(

Answer 7

x = raw_input('What is your name?\nPlease type your name here:')
print 'Hello %s' % x
What is your name?
Please type your name here:slick
Hello slick

Answer 8

Works in 2.7. It could be why they suggest that you use 2.7.5 in the exercises.

Answer 9

Perfect! No more runtime :) Thank you very much eSpeX!
