Python Object-Oriented Python (retired) Inheritance Instance Methods

NameError: name '' is not defined

Entered the same code as instructed, able to import character from Character and set player = Character() and is getting asked to input Name:. But then if i enter anything (e.g. Kenneth), it will return this error - "NameError: name 'Kenneth' is not defined". Please help~

Fixed the issue - my mac is on Python 2.7, and input() can only accept existing values defined before. Used raw_input() instead and is able to get around it. :D

Use python 3.5, you'll have use the shell for 3.5 to run the program.
