I'm a newbie and I'm still stumped...

[Dwight GoldWinde]

Thank you, Emile, Paul, Terry, and Joel for your suggestions! And the
error persists.

Maybe my error is coming from running the old version (2.7.6) of Python,
but I can’t figure out why that would be happening???

I downloaded 3.4.3 again from the Python.org website for my Mac.
I inserted the "import sys" and did “print (sys.version)” into the code.

So here what the code is:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
print (sys.version)
word = input('Enter a word ')


Here are the results I got below, showing the same error. The first line
says, 
"2.7.6 (default, Sep 9 2014, 15:04:36)”. Does that mean I am running the
old Python? How could that be since I am SURE I downloaded 3.4.3 (it even
gives the folder name as “Python 3.4” in the Applications folder on my Mac.

2.7.6 (default, Sep  9 2014, 15:04:36)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.39)]
Enter a word serendipity
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test short.py", line 4, in <module>
    word = input('Enter a word ')
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'serendipity' is not defined




Please help…

BIG SMILE...

Always, Dwight
