As I mentioned in my earlier response, the only way I could replicate
the error was to pipe the file into python, disconnecting (I'm
guessing) the stdin stream from the terminal:

$ cat test.py
input()
$ cat test.py | python3
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

(I also tested the script in the OP, and got identical output to that
mentioned).
This supports Kent's suggestion in a way, although maybe for a
slightly different reason.
