Beats me, it works OK on my XP box.

Are you sure this shouldn't be ValueError rather than ValueErr?

It won't be causing your current problem but it might cause 
your next one! :-)

How are you running the code?
Are you typing it into a file and then running the file?
If so are you typing python foo.py or double clicking the file in Finder?
Are you using an IDE? If so which?

Finally which version of Python are you using? v3.0 or 3.1 or something 
else?

Clutching at straws...
