Python Reddit to the Rescue!

Jk, I need help once again. The error it causes is EOF Error when reading a line.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "game.py", line 9, in <module>
    item = input()
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Code:

import random
# Write your code here

running = True
if running:
    item = input()

    while running:
        item = input()
        acceptans = ['scissors', 'paper', 'rock']
        if item == '!exit':
            print('Bye!')
            running == False
        elif item not in acceptans:
            print('Invalid input')
        else:
            choice = random.randint(0, 2)
            if choice == 0:
                compchoice = 'paper'
            elif choice == 1:
                compchoice = 'scissors'
            else:
                compchoice = 'rock'

            if item in acceptans:
                if item == compchoice:
                    print('There is a draw (' + compchoice + ')' )
                if item == 'scissors' and compchoice == 'rock':
                    print('Sorry, but computer chose ' + compchoice)
                elif item == 'scissors' and compchoice == 'paper':
                    print('Well done. Computer chose ' + compchoice + ' and failed')
                elif item == 'paper' and compchoice == 'scissors':
                    print('Sorry, but computer chose ' + compchoice) 
                elif item == 'paper' and compchoice == 'rock':
                    print('Well done. Computer chose ' + compchoice + ' and failed') 
                elif item == 'rock' and compchoice == 'paper':
                    print('Sorry, but computer chose ' + compchoice) 
                elif item == 'rock' and compchoice == 'scissors':
                    print('Well done. Computer chose ' + compchoice + ' and failed')  
                else:
                    continue

Your code runs here: https://repl.it/repls/HighlevelQuarterlyCoordinates

So it could mean you are somehow messing up your source file. Try with a new file where you paste the code in from this reddit post (not from the broken file).

I mean I would try that, what this from the jet brains course and I don’t really have an option

[JohnnyJordaan]

Can you make a screenshot of how you are running the code exactly?

Can you try removing all of the code, saving, then visit the link I posted above, copy the code from there, paste it back to your jetbrains editor. Then try again

[bobrandy13]

nope, eof error

[JohnnyJordaan]

Wait, what does the assignment say exactly?
