Armando. Try this at a Python prompt, and just press Enter without
entering any text.

  input("Please enter something:")


The trouble is that the beguilingly-named "input" function actually
*evaluates* what you type, ie it's the same as doing this:

  eval("")

which, as you can see, gives the same error message. You're clearly
using Python 2.x as your prints are statements, so input has this
characteristic. Instead you should use raw_input:

  raw_input(enter)
