(Python3) I have created a mini script to remember unknown words but I've a little problem, maybe it's easy to solve.

The script works perfectly when I execute it with the "Python Script.py" but when I try to execute it with the "install" script in / usr / local / bin changing the header with "#!/usr/bin/env python "I get the following error:

English word: Word Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/bin/trans", line 95, in "module"
word = input("English word: ")
File "string", line 1, in "module"

NameError: name 'Word' is not defined

I use word = input ('English word:') to store the option.

So, when I set the input like:

Englis word: Example

I got the error, but when I enclosed in quotation marks like:

English word: 'Example'

It works perfect, but why? What's the explanation? And a solution to avoid to add " ' ' "?

Just in case I use Ubuntu.

Beforehand thanks for reading!

Use `raw_input()`, or install Python 3 if you are following a tutorial that is telling you to use `input()`. – Martijn Pieters Aug 12 '17 at 18:47
I'm using Python3 for that reason i don't use raw_input(). – lpluispacheco Aug 12 '17 at 18:49
No, the behaviour you described is Python 2 *only*, not Python 3. – Martijn Pieters Aug 12 '17 at 18:50
It's solved, the problem was that i have python 2.x by default, thanks Pieters. – lpluispacheco Aug 12 '17 at 18:52
