Hello.
I tried running the script on my Mac's terminal and I get the following error:
What should we pick up at the store? Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Apples Traceback (most recent call last): File "shopping_list.py", line 7, in <module> new_item = input("> ") File "<string>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'Apples' is not defined
However the script runs just fine in workspaces. Am I doing something wrong?

3,847 PointsYou are correct, python 2 seems to have been the issue. I installed python 3.4.1 and it works great. Thanks for the help Ricky!

Python 2 is a good, solid version of Python. It's just not going to get better, unlike Python 3. :)

13,023 PointsThere is a ton of truth to that. I am just slowly shifting over. I like my raw_inputs! Although print now being a function makes a ton more sense. I am looking to the future of python in a different way. I would rather Python 2 run on any device then python 3 be expanded so instead of switching to python 3 I have been working with kivy to develop an app.
