Error occurred when using code-runner to run python file in vscode

Question

It’s a very simple program which get user input and print it out in an infinite while loop, like this:

while True:
    s = input('Enter something: ')
    print(s)

But I got the following output when I typed “Hello world”:

Enter something: Hello world
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/chuyizhang/Documents/python/break.py", line 2, in <module>
    s = input('Enter something: ')
  File "<string>", line 1
    Hello world
              ^
  SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Or it could be:

Enter something: Hello
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/chuyizhang/Documents/python/break.py", line 2, in <module>
    s = input('Enter something: ')
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Hello' is not defined

when I type “Hello”

And when I input three words or more I will get:

Enter something: Hello world hello world
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/chuyizhang/Documents/python/break.py", line 2, in <module>
    s = input('Enter something: ')
  File "<string>", line 1
    Hello world hello world
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So how can I fix it? Does it means that something is wrong with code-runner extension or vscode configuration?

@EzzaldeenAlribi Just vscode, with code-runner extension to run the file. — sophia_zhang, Nov 25 '20 at 12:58
Two steps you can do: restart your vscode and install python again in your platform. If already you have done it. Suggestions please run a signle print — mhhabib, Nov 25 '20 at 13:11
@toRex I’ve already restarted vscode and it didn’t fix the problem. I’ve also disabled the python extension and reinstalled the code-runner extension and still got the same thing. — sophia_zhang, Nov 25 '20 at 13:21
@toRex A single print works well. Things went wrong on input. — sophia_zhang, Nov 25 '20 at 13:27
Then try for the last `pip install future` `from future.builtins import input` `str_value = input('Type something in: ')` — mhhabib, Nov 25 '20 at 13:36
@toRex Do I really have to do the import? The program works well in command line. And I’ve already updated my question. — sophia_zhang, Nov 25 '20 at 13:48
@toRex The link is useful. The program works when I use raw_input() instead of input(), so the python version is the cause of the problem. I modified the code runner compile command and it works. Thank you. — sophia_zhang, Nov 25 '20 at 14:06

The problem you face for SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing. It may cause for many a reasons like version conflict, indentation, syntaxt error etc.
