Python: Multiple choice questioning code

print "Do you want to be (A) begginner, (B) interidate or (Other) advanced?"
input = level
if level == "A":
    ...
elif level == "B":
    ...
else :
    ...

This turns up with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/*****/Maths.py", line 4, in <module>
    input = level
NameError: name 'level' is not defined

I'm new to python so sorry if this is obvious but I couldn't find a solution looking through guides.

It comes in the 2nd line of you're provided code: input = level Where you're saying "Make input equal to level"

it should be:

level = input("Do you want to be (A) begginner, (B) interidate or (Other) advanced?")
...

thus you are setting the variable level to equal whatever input is from the user.

You should use raw_input in the following way: 

level = raw_input("Do you want to be (A) begginner, (B) intermediate or (Other) advanced? ")
if level == "A":
    print "A"
elif level == "B":
    print "B"
else :
    print "default"

raw_input will return a string while input will try to eval whatever the user passed in the command line and assign it to the specified variable.

In Python 2, you need to use

level=raw_input()
