Newbie help with input

[LouK]

I just started into Python today and got a lot working in a few hours. But this has me stumped.

I copy and paste (no typos) these two lines from a Python help site into the Terminal:

val = input("Enter your value: ") 
print(val) 

and the result is:

Error:
>>> val = input("Enter your value: ") 
Enter your value: print(val) my input
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1
    print(val) my input
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The print(val) line runs into the input line. I typed "My input". It all just runs together. Thanks in advance to anyone who can tell me what's wrong here.

Thanks.
