print logarithms todifferent base

[atux_null]

i have a homework and i am asking the user to input two numbers x and y:
from math import *
x=int(input('Please state a number for X: '))
y=int(input('Please state a number for Y: '))

then i need to calculate the log of x to the base of y.
here i have:
print(math.log(x,y))
but it returns errors " print(math.log(x,y))
NameError: name 'math' is not defined"

any ideas please?

With from math import * you can just call the functions, e.g. log(x, y), or with import math use math.log(x, y).

from math import *

I'll add that this is considered bad form and you should try to avoid using it.
