Hi Amaury,

Thank you very much for your email. 
Actually what happedded is that I mistakenly used input() function in place of 
raw_input() as it is in the book.
raw_input correctly inputs bob and 'bob', while input() inputs correctly 'bob' 
only and complains about bob. 

I will definitely check the usage of input() with bob in Python 3 when I install 
it.

Best regards

Dmitry

You are certainly using Python 2 with code designed for Python 3...
Can you check?
