Since others have posted so helpful answer I'm just going to rant:

1) http://docs.python.org/ <- first part (make sure you read the docs
-- and tutorial -- for the python version you installed
2) After you know how to store user input in a variable think about
what other facts you know (by examining the content of the variable)
2) Think again hard what you need to output and which parts of the
output need to match the information you already have (by doing point
2)

That shouldn't be too hard
