Are you using Python 2 or Python 3? If it's Python 2, this should be
raw_input().

You may be having trouble here as a result of not closing the file and
then trying to reopen it.

Also, at some point you have to check if 's' (the user's inputted
string) is empty. You can then leave the loop using the 'break'
statement.

Hope that helps! Best of luck with your homework.
