Invalid syntax 3.6.2 with 6 highlighted

[chrishaynes1000]

Thank you kindly Snippsat & Stranac, I hoped for help and found it sooner than expected. I genuinely appreciate this.

Stranac - The code is below; Snippsat, I tried your good advice (which made sense) and then it highlighted several subsequent characters as 'invalid syntax', such as the middle > in each line:

Python 3.6.2 (v3.6.2:5fd33b5, Jul 8 2017, 04:57:36) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

# My_magic_8_ball
>>> import random
# write answers
>>> ans1="go for it!"
>>> ans2="No way, sir"
>>> ans3="Not sure. Ask again."
>>> ans4="Fear of the unknown."
>>> ans5="It would be madness to do that."
>>> ans6="Only uou can save mankind."
>>> ans7="Makes no difference to me."
>>> ans8="That's the right choice."

print ("Welcome to my magic 8 ball.")
question = input ("ask me for advice then press RETURN to shake me. \n")
print ("shaking... \n * 4)
choice=random.randit(1, 8)
if choice ==1:
answer=ans1
elif choice == 2:
answer=ans2
elif choice == 3:
answer=ans3
elif choice == 4:
answer=ans4
elif choice == 5:
answer=ans5
elif choice == 6:
answer=ans6
elif choice == 7:
answer=ans7
else:
answer=ans8
print (answer)

input("\n\nPress the RETURN key to finish.")
