'''input_string = input("what string do you want? ") input_int = input("how many int do you want? ") print (input_string*int(input_int))'''

Seems to work fine. The error seems to indicate that may be you are running some other file. "hello World" is from some other code??

This could be to do with your local version of Python.

Try replacing 'input()', with 'raw_input()'.

'raw_input()' works for me with Python version 2.7.6 on a Mac.

I have a feeling that 'input()' works in later versions such as Python 3 and up.
