[Tutor] VERY basic question

[ALAN GAULD]

I've been using Python3 for a while now so forgot how Python 2 
handled input errors.

You could use Python 2 but you'd need to replace input() with raw_input().

But for learning I'd advise you to stick with Python3, just don't delete 
python2 from your PC since several Linux tools rely on it.
