n =3D raw_input("What is your name?")
print "Hello,", n

Note that there's no space in the "Hello," string.  The print statement adds
one space between each comma separated argument:
>>> print "a", "b", "c"
a b c
>>>

Also, a good idea is to check out the built in functions, there are quite a
few nice tools there:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html
And indeed, the library reference is your friend:

You're wrong! <wink>

HTH,

P.S.  I might add that local time is 02:28 (AM).  I really should go to bed.
