input error help - Cremno - Oct-21-2017

name = input("Enter Name: ")
print("Hello there "+name)

input("Press enter")

I'm encountering an error with this command. When I get the "Enter name" prompt and I enter
Me (Or anything else)
I get this error:

Error:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "G:\Python Saves\Tests\Hello.py", line 1, in <module>
name = input("Enter Name: ")
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Me' is not defined

However, if I enter
"Me" instead, it works. I know it should work without "" but for some reason, it doesn't.
Can anyone help me out with this?

I am running on windows 10.

Use code tag BBcode help.

You are getting that error because you use Python 2.
Fix:

name = raw_input("Enter Name: ")
print("Hello there " + name)

But you should really use Python 3,follow Python 3.6 and pip installation under Windows.
Then it can look like this.

name = input("Enter Name: ")
print(f'Hello there {name}')

I see. I downloaded python 3 but it would seem I was using an old installation. I guess that is a newbie for you haha, thank you so much.
