See [Python unexpected EOF while parsing](https://stackoverflow.com/q/5074225/4518341). You're running the code with Python 2, not Python 3. — wjandrea, Mar 01 '20 at 21:23

Seems like you're using python 2.x so you would need to do:

Message = raw_input('> ')
Word = Message.split(' ')
print (Word)

I would definitely suggest upgrading to python 3.7 (3.8 is not supported for all packages).
