unexpected EOF while parsing - aaron92 - Sep-10-2019

when running this code:

import screens as scn
import inventory as inv

pressEnter = ""

scn.welcomeScreen_func()
pressEnter = input("press ENTER to continue: ")
pressEnter = 1
print(pressEnter)

I get this error:

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Main.py", line 8, in <module>
    pressEnter = input("press ENTER to continue: ")
  File "<string>", line 0
    
    ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing


------------------
(program exited with code: 1)
Press return to continue

I've been trying to find the issue for hours with no luck, any advice helps, thanks all

Not to address the EOF problem but code logic: why you ask for user input and then overwrite it (pressEnter)? Not to mention that pressEnter is assigned to empty string to begin with (I have no idea what scn.welcomeScreen_func() does).

I am pretty new to python in general, please excuse my bad practice XD
