Perhaps the third line should be 'circ = 2 * pi * float (radius)'
As it is, you are multiplying a float by a string, I think. That should
be giving you a type error.
By the way, you can get pi from the math module:
import math
print math.pi
It's good not to have constants encoded directly in to your program, in
case they ever change. :)
