Thank you, Emile, Paul, Terry, and Joel for your suggestions! And the
error persists.

Maybe my error is coming from running the old version (2.7.6) of Python,
but I can=E2=80=99t figure out why that would be happening???

I downloaded 3.4.3 again from the Python.org website for my Mac.
I inserted the "import sys" and did =E2=80=9Cprint (sys.version)=E2=80=9D into the code=
.

So here what the code is:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
print (sys.version)
word =3D input('Enter a word ')


Here are the results I got below, showing the same error. The first line
says,=20
"2.7.6 (default, Sep 9 2014, 15:04:36)=E2=80=9D. Does that mean I am running the
old Python? How could that be since I am SURE I downloaded 3.4.3 (it even
gives the folder name as =E2=80=9CPython 3.4=E2=80=9D in the Applications folder on my =
Mac.
