Newbie help with input

[LouK]

I'm running 3.7.4

Type in
v=input("Enter value: ")
print (v)

result:

>>> v=input("Enter value: ")
Enter value: print (v)

It isn't waiting for input.

---

Per Yoriz, I paste in "v=input("Enter value: ")", type in input, then paste "v=input("Enter value: ")"

Yes, it prints v correctly. It gets the input.

But I'm not clear how this helps me write a script in which I need user input. It doesn't wait. It just moves on to the print command.

---

Does anyone have something that works for you, that I can paste in to test?

Correction:

Per Yoriz I paste "v=input("Enter value: ")", input, and then "print (v)".

It gets the input, but in a script it doesn't wait, it just moves on to the next command.

I'm brand new to Python. I may have some major misconception about input.

1. It displays the print(v) command but doesn't execute it.
2. When I manually type in the print command, I see it has received the value.

I don't understand. Why doesn't it wait for input and then executes the print command?

>>> v=input("Enter value: ")
Enter value: print (v)hi there
>>> print (v)
print (v)hi there
>>>

The code is correct, but somehow you have a problem with the end of line of the first line. I cut and pasted the code and got an error

Error:
SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

with a big red line going out from the first line.
Don't know what you did, but somehow in your editing you messed the line ending up.

I hit Return like every other line of my script, and it all runs. Just not the input command.

What do I do to correct the EOL?


Thanks for reply.
