I keep getting an EOF error at line 7.

I keep getting an EOF error at line 7 but in my terminal all seems good. Please help!

suggestinator.py 
def suggest(product_idea):
    if len(product_idea) < 3: 
        raise ValueError("I need more characters")
    return product_idea + "inator"

try:
    product_idea = input("What's your idea?  ")
    result = suggest(product_idea)
except ValueError as err:
    print("Please enter more characters")
    print("({})".format(err))
else:
    print("{}".format(result))
