Newbie ? Python 3 Input()

[jlgrunr]

I am running Ubuntu 17.10.1 and Python Python 3.6.3

When I use input() I get a traceback. I bumped into something on python.org and I have success with sys.stdin.read() which is very clunky. Any way to make the regular input statement work?

I did a bunch of searching but couldn't find anything in the forum. Apologies if this has been covered before.

What is the traceback? Did you run python or python3? Python in ubuntu usually means python 2.
