So that's three people at least within the last couple of weeks who 
could have written "How to win friends and influence people".

	The word is "lose" ("loose" is when your T-shirt is three sizes too
big)

	1)	In Python 2.x this is dangerous, you probably want raw_input (in
3.x, it IS raw_input)
	2)	input is a function that returns data...

		data = input()

	3)	Argument to input is a PROMPT string to be displayed, but you
didn't define "enter".

Your problem is that you should not be using input(), but raw_input() 
instead.

Replace every call to input() to raw_input() instead, and this specific 
problem will go away. It may reveal other bugs, but that's programming 
for you.

Yes Steven a C book I am reading has a quote "Every programmer is fluent in swearing" After my blow ups and confusion I am happy with my program anyway. I will get better at it eventually. I did change things to "raw_input" and works fine.
