I'm trying to make the the second print statement wait until I press enter in the command line but I keep getting an unexpected EOF error.

print "hi"
continu = input("Press Enter to continue!")
print "hi"

Here is my traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "save_cookies.py", line 2, in <module>
    continu = input("Press Enter to continue!")
  File "<string>", line 0

    ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

    Which python version are you using? It looks like you are mixing python2 and python3 statements Commented Dec 8, 2015 at 10:03

    If you're using Python 2.x, then change input to raw_input. Commented Dec 8, 2015 at 10:06

It looks like your are mixing python2 and python3 statements.

For python2 you need to use raw_input (PEP 3111):

print "hi"
raw_input("Press Enter to continue!")
print "hi"

For python3 instead, you need to adjust the syntax on the print (PEP 3105):

print("hi")
input("Press Enter to continue!")
print("hi")

Try using raw_input() instead of input().
