Input Error in Very Simple Python Application

Question

I am learning python and when running this simple guessing program I get an error at guess=int(input('Enter an integer: ')) Running Python 3 because the book is based on this version. Thanks in advance!

number = 23 
running = True

while running:
    guess = int(input('Enter an integer: '))

if guess == number:
    print('Congratulations')
    running = False
elif guess < number:
    print('No higher!')
else:
    print('Little lower!')
else:
print('while loop is over.')

print('done')

The error:

Enter an integer: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../Documents/Python Programs/while.py", line 5, in <module>
    guess = int(input('Enter an integer: '))
EOFError: EOF when reading a line
[Finished in 0.1s with exit code 1]

Please fix your indent. Also where are you running this program? Sublime2? — jamylak, Apr 22 '13 at 05:52

@jamylak Yes sublime 2 And oops that was a copy and waste mistake, the line in subject is indented though — JOG-Design, Apr 22 '13 at 05:55
@jamylak So I can still write in Sublime text just not build in it? What should I use to build instead? — JOG-Design, Apr 22 '13 at 05:57
This is probably a more appropriate duplicate: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10604409/sublime-text-2-console-input It contains links and information — jamylak, Apr 22 '13 at 06:03

Your indentation is wrong. Once it's fixed the program runs fine under Python3.

number = 23 
running = True

while running:
    guess = int(input('Enter an integer: '))

    if guess == number:
        print('Congratulations')
        running = False
    elif guess < number:
        print('No higher!')
    else:
        print('Little lower!')
else:
    print('while loop is over.')

print('done')

Actually, this isn't the problem. Sublime Text 2 doesn't take any input. The indentation is fine (notice the comments above) – TerryA Apr 22 '13 at 05:59
@gnibbler Sorry that was a copy and paste error into the stackoverflow, thats what my code looks like ^^ Its not the solution – JOG-Design Apr 22 '13 at 05:59
@JOG-Design, Indeed, from the comments it seems you are running it wrong. – John La Rooy Apr 22 '13 at 06:01

@Haidro, First mention of sublime was jamylak's comment. My ESP must be done today – John La Rooy Apr 22 '13 at 06:02
