Weird Problem

[Anand Pillai]

Dont forget that 'input' is a keyword in python.
It is used to accept user inputs as illustrated below.

r=input("Write your name here: ")
print r

Maybe the interpreter is getting confused with 
your variable <input> and the keyword "input".

My suggestion... try a different variable name
other than <input>.

Just guessing of course, since I can find no
problem with the code as such.
