'Exiting' Task: Exception: EOF when reading a line

When I do this code in the python shell on my computer it's fine, but in the treehouse workspace it returns this error... (Exception: EOF when reading a line)

firedoor.py 
import sys

while True:
  if input("Do you wanna show? ").lower() != 'n':
    print("Enjoy!")
  else:
    sys.exit()

Same error here, treehouse didn't seem to want the 'while True:' bit

You should put the input in the while loop. You should also assign the input to a variable instead of putting it in the if statement. Try this

import sys

user_input = input("What to watch? ")
if user_input.lower() != "n":
  print("Enjoy the show!")
else:
  sys.exit()
