The only way I discovered to get that error, on Windows, is to hit 
control-D in response to the prompt.  This is not a bug in your program, 
but part of standard interactive program on *nix, copied by Python on 
Windows also.  If the user who hits ^D does not mean to stop the 
program, then it is a user bug.

And what OS and what response did you make as the 'user'?
