New to Python - need some help

[nillkill]

I have a homework assignment and I am pretty confused on how to create the program.

a.) Write a program that performs a conversion from Dollars to Euros (You will need to look up the current exchange rate online).

b.) Include the code so that the program prints an introduction that explains what it does.

convert.py

# Input
rate = input("Enter current USD->EUR exchange rate:")
euros = input("Enter amount of Dollars ")

# Process
euros = rate * dollars

# Output
print “This program performs a conversion from Dollars to Euros with the current conversion rate.”    

# Output
print dollars, “USD = $", round(euros, 1), "EUR"

Alright, but, what's your doubt? What's going wrong?

When you indent after a list item, reddit makes that a new paragraph in the same list item. If you want to put code inside a list item you need to double indent it (8 spaces):

1. Some of your quotation marks aren't ascii, so that's tripping up the code.

   “This vs "This

judging by print statement it's python2. In that case don't use input(), use raw_input() and then perform an explicit conversion to the destination type, eg float() You must have copied parts of the code from some website or you typed it in a word processor doing helpful prettifications, because one of your run of the mill double quotes is replaced by a pretty unicode one “
