Is it normal for this code to not work with other editor?

name = input("What's your name ")

if name == "Vipul": print("You are cool") else: print("Yikes")

I am using pycharm, but this code is not working on it. I get the error message:

What's your name Vipul Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/vipulperiwal/Desktop/treehouse/lumberjack.py", line 1, in <module> name = input("What's your name ") File "<string>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'Vipul' is not defined

I ran this code in IDLE 3.4.3 and it worked perfectly, it just does not work if you don't indent properly.

Thanks, I don't think that I was running the latest version of python.
