You have embeddeed quotes within quotes. 
You need to use single quotes on the outside...

Are you sure you mean <= ie less than or equal?
I suspect that should be == for equals.

The if claess needs to be indented to the same level 
as the notes= line, otherwise its seen by python as 
being outside the loop.

No you are reading it from the user.
Of course in the real world you probably want to store 
the notes in a file or something but that can wait till 
later ;-)
