Assuming that you've posted exactly what's in your program, the problem is
"raw input()" (which would mean 'execute a statement called raw, with an
input() function following it') instead of "raw_input()".  Since there isn't
a built-in statement called "raw", you get the syntax error.

Spelling counts.
