Point taken.  I did miss the python3 part.

I switched to raw_input because it handles an empty
input.  An empty input would trigger the ValueError.
No doubt with the correct code the same or similar
could be done with input().  My lack of experience
caused me to look for simpler solution and perhaps
the wrong one.
