Question

I’m completely lost as to why this isn’t working. Should work precisely, right?

UserName = input("Please enter your name: ")
print ("Hello Mr. " + UserName)
raw_input("<Press Enter to quit.>")

I get this exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "Test1.py", line 1, in <module>
    UserName = input("Please enter your name: ")
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'k' is not defined  

It says NameError 'k', because I wrote 'k' as the input during my tests. I’ve read that the print statement used to be without parenthesis but that has been deprecated right?

Answer 1

Do not use input() in 2.x. Use raw_input() instead. Always.
