When run on OS X v10.10 with Python v2.7.6, I get:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "shopping_list.py", line 19, in <module> new_item = input("> ") File "<string>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'Apples' is not defined
The same code passes in the Treehouse Workspace, which uses Python v3.4. I've read there were big changes from 2.x to 3.x but don't know enough as to why this happens.
No biggie, but I spent a few minutes on it so I though I'd pass it along.
