Indentation is lost here and elsewhere in the program.  That's probably 
because your email program is mistakenly set to send html messages. 
Please use text mail on this forum.  Losing indentation is just one of 
the problems triggered by html, but it's very important in python.

When you show an error, you should give the complete traceback.  in this 
case, it didn't matter, however.

An if statement must end with a colon.

You would use the raw_input() statement.  print() doesn't wait for any 
keystrokes from the user, it just displays things.

Note that the return value of raw_input() is a string, so in the case of 
speed, you'll need to convert it to an int or float.
