2You should not paste an interpreter session into a .py file, would be my guess. `>>>` is the interactive prompt, it's **not** valid Python code. – jonrsharpe Jan 19 '20 at 11:32

it seems like that you have copied code from an interpreter or a book to a file and tried to run it with python command.
if you want to do so you need to remove >>> from lines and run again.

are you running this in a shell (interactive environment) or have you pasted the content in a .py file and running that file? – saeed foroughi Jan 19 '20 at 11:55

you get the same error in both? that's kind of wiered because this error seems to be for intractive env. I ran your code in my shell at got the proper response with no error. – saeed foroughi Jan 19 '20 at 11:58
