[Tutor] little problem...

[Georges Gabereau]

thanks.

I am now using raw_input() and it works the way I expect.

Does anybody have any experince with irclib.py?

Just a guess, but you probably want to use raw_input, not input.  The
traceback
you have shows that the call to the 'input' funcion failed.  I haven't
checked
the docs, but it seems that it reads python code, thus the "syntax error" in
your input.
