title: Something is wrong, can somebody help me with INPUT in python
body: <p>I am a beginner in python. This may seem very basic. I am using python 2.7</p>
  
  <p>If I use input in python prompt, I get an error. I am typing this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_reply= input ("Enter your reply")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I enter any letter/character, I get an error saying that <code>my_reply</code> is not defined. However, If I enter a number, there is no error.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong??</p>
