Python: NameError name '[input]' is not defined
nameerror, python, undefined
Solution
instead of `input` try `raw_input`:
replace:
restart = str(input("Do you wish to make another conversion? [y]Yes or [n]no: "))
on:
restart = raw_input("Do you wish to make another conversion? [y]Yes or [n]no: ")
Problem
I'm trying to make a simple little tool for converting inches to centimeters and am stuck at trying to take a user input ('y' or 'n') for deciding whether to do another conversion or terminate. Here's what I've done: ``` import time def intro(): print "Welcome! This program will convert inches to centimeters for you.\n" convert() def convert(): input_cm = input(("Inches: ")) inches_conv = input_cm * 2.54 print "Centimeters: %f\n" % inches_conv time.sleep(3) restart = str(input("Do you wish to make another conversion? [y]Yes or [n]no: ")) if restart == 'y': convert() elif restart == 'n': end_fast() else: print "I didn't quite understand that answer. Terminating." end_slow() def end_fast(): print "This program will close in 5 seconds." time.sleep(5) def end_slow(): print "This program will close in 30 seconds." time.sleep(30) intro() ``` And this results in: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Sam\Programming\Python\the hard way\ex5.4.py", line 29, in intro() File "C:\Users\Sam\Programming\Python\the hard way\ex5.4.py", line 5, in intro convert() File "C:\Users\Sam\Programming\Python\the hard way\ex5.4.py", line 12, in convert restart = str(input("Do you wish to make another conversion? [y]Yes or [n]no?\n")) File "", line 1, in NameError: name 'y' is not defined Help appreciated.
